So I ordered a axle plate mount, did not realize it but the stock side plate is part ot the fender... Kinda, so if I remove it there will be a gap between the fender and the fender strut when looking at it from the side. Anyone removed the stock plate mount? Does it look ok?

 

Yeah, there'd be a gap. But that's what angle grinders are for. Chop the unnecessary stuff off and put back what you need.

 

I removed mine and cut fender lowered it. Then take yer bracket simple cut and mount it to passenger peg spot it's sweet! And yer light still intaked

 

I did the opposite, took the stock Aussie version off and out the factory u.s sidemount version on. the aussie (or export model) left plate is waht you need

Haven't seen one, thinking I will get another reflector from the right side and see if I can make that work as a filler panel on the left. I will cut the reflectors off of course, trying to keep the stock plate mount in one piece so it can be sold 

 

Just remove it all. The gap isn't that bad. I don't mind it anyway.

 

Thanks for posing the pictures , you may be right!
