I have another one of those plates for sale, New but missing bottom plastic "Y" bracket which can be easily replaced by 2 "L" brackets. Held on with zip ties.

hit me up if your looking for anything else

[Rollingmenace]

I gotta fender brace with no braces ! nice huh? not really.

I need gas tank bushings too.

SBLT500R makes the fender brace out of aluminum and was tryin to sell it on ebay for $110. I want one but no one else bid on it either. He was sellin 84-85 one for $50. If the price was just a little better on the 86.

He said he was gonna get gas tank bushing made too, but I've never seen them.

[nd4speed]

Does $25 sound like too much for 3 new repro tank bushings? I found some. The set is 2 correct part # and one incorrect part.
Well one could just ask for a substitution to get all 3.
