BRAKE PLATE BRACKET

the brake plate bracket had been cut off the frame so i made a new one to fit.

50 PAN

been workin hard on the 50 lately...got the frame back from the blaster and had to do some serious work gettin it right.....shes straight it was just all the raking and deraking that had gone on made for some messy welding by some crazy dude at some stage....tanks all mounted up.....sittin low enough i had to put a scallop in on the bottom to clear the rear rocker cover... the rear guard is looking good.....also the stay is partly there......
thanks to joe for the help yesterday.....you be ridin it soon mate.
