Default Side Mount License Bracket for 1200C?

Anyone put on a Side Mount License Bracket on their 1200C?
Any pics?
I'm thinking of going this route but don't know how the rear fender will look without a taillight or bracket on it.
I know the Nightster looks good with this setup but the fender on the 1200C is much bigger.

ALSO...can anyone recommend a good Bracket?

I used a softail bracket for mine. It was for 3/4" axles. I made a small "L" bracket with 3/4" bolt welded to it which in turn attached to the Sportsters smaller axle. Came out pretty good I think.

Mine is from Road 6 customs on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Side-...mZ170254606103

Mounts on shock bolt or axle (the end of your axle is only 3/4" even though the axle itself is 1")

My bracket holes on the fender are still exposed for now and my tailight still on. I may just go with a lowpro taillght and plug the holes with Kuryakyn cover or something so that its all reversible. Getting the holes welded up is a hassle unless you're repainting anyway and even then it adds to the cost.
