I sold it to another member here on the forum who had a 3/4" axle.

25mm is 1 inch axle actually it's .98 of an inch, but close enough. All you would have to do is drill out the mounting hole a little. It's not visibal under the axle nut anyways, so you wouldn't need to re-powder it. Did you try mounting it before you sold it??

+2 on what Shockwave said.
I bought one very similar to that one off a member here about a year ago and mounted it the same way you did.
Lasted about 6 months and broke off at the eyelet where it bolted up to the beltguard.
Granted, this was after I hit a pothole.
Only cost me 15 bucks, but it cost another 28 to replace the plate I lost and another 20 to have a bro' make a bigger and better one for me.
Just food for thought.....

Yeah, I tried mounting it and it wouldn't fit. I could've drilled it out, I considered that for a while, but decided I'd rather buy a nicer one that fit rather than having to buy the tools to bore it out.

Looks good. Keep an eye on it though as others have said. My first ebay mount snapped off on the freeway. Had to buy a new mount and plate. My current one is good though. Has lasted about a year and no signs of damage.

I was going to get one of those kuryakyn mount covers, but don't really like them. Found only like two others and don't like those either. So today I ordered some spike license plate bolts so we'll see what they look like when they get here. I'll put them on as chrome and if I don't like it I will paint them black and try that. Just going to play with it since it's winter and snow everywhere I figured I have time to see what I like. Thought about skull bolts, but I don't want to over due the skulls because my paint job has enough and three of them under 3 painted skulls is to much. I might do the top hole with a bar and shield or an Iron cross and the two bottom ones as spikes. Like I said I have time to play with and I put up some pics hopefully next weekend.

Yea I just don't see how the road 6 bracket will break either. Well below are pics of what I did with the license plate holes. They are 2 inch tall 1/2 inch diameter license plate bolt spikes.
