Default This is why I love eBay...

From MeanCycles.com:


Link: Meancycles.com | BLACK HALF MOON L.E.D. LIGHT SIDE MOUNT LICENSE PLATE - Part No: DCC-45

From eBay seller "demonscycle":

It's the same light/plate mount, even the same stock photo:


Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SIDE-AXLE-MO...ht_9217wt_1139

Hahaha man I love eBay. I was 1 click away from ordering this from MeanCycles.com



(I used screenshots because ebay links change and disappear over time.)

Sometimes Ebay is a lot more too.

I find gun parts on there that you can get from the factory for half price.

Don't forget to order the "mounting nut" as well. It's listed there on the site too, for about $35.00??

True. I keep my options open... I usually have really good luck on eBay. Just don't tell my wife where her wedding ring came from!

Yep, I'm grabbing that from MeanCycles.com before they quit selling it. Seems to be the trend with these Volusia parts.

Are you planning on mounting that in the fake swingarm bolt hole? If so, the thread is M16 x 1.5. Don't know why you would need a nut.

This is what we're talking about: Meancycles.com | .SIDE MOUNT LICENSE PLATE CUSTOM BUSHING FOR VOLUSIA / C50 / M50 (Plate holder not inluded) - Part No: MEBUSHSUZ

I thought it had to have that extra "bushing" to fill up the space of the round "axle" mount. No?

Okay, yes. The diameter of the hole in the mounting arm is slightly larger, so you will need a sleeve. If I knew that size, I'd tell you, and you could look for one locally.

I had the chrome version of that same side mount... it's pretty awesome, for sure.

I searched Lowes for a similar bolt/sleeve, but couldn't find one. $33 is a lot for that bolt, so I'm going to keep looking.

I actually ended up ordering the chrome version off eBay. Hoping to get it sometime in the next couple of days!

I searched everywhere to look for something to replace the $32.95 bushing, but no luck! Meancycles seems to be the only one offering it as well.
