Been using those tool peg brackets , $2 a pair and work a treat.

But i like you work Stew anyway...

Oldfart I like what you have made.  I might have a go myself you've made it look easy.About the tape you could slice fuel line down one side and slide it over the edge of the alloy. jimson

This is better than buying the Yamaha-copy stainless wire thingies from Scott, and mounting the number plate Yamaha style?

Good to see you're still getting mileage from these bright ideas.

Good work Stuart, one of the things many overlook is to secure their front number plate neatly and securely. Cable ties might work OK but I reckon they look a tad funky. In my opinion there's nothing better than a neat gizmo. I use the alloy brackets (bottom) that I turn up out of alloy but I suppose you could make 'em out of anything. I'm thinking of nylon chopping board material for the next pair.I copied them from items sold on eBay for $30+. The other bracket is similar in design to Stuarts but I have no idea of its origins. I've had it on a few different bikes over the years and it now lives on my B&S TM400. Someone once told me its made by Webco, which wouldn't surprise me as they made a lot of cool stuff.

Mark (and others) - you can still buy brackets like the top one in your photo.  I bought one not that long ago from Penton Parts.  They're stainless steel and cheap, go halfway down this page:
