Can't imagine there would be a problem but I would definitely put some sort of guard on the front pulley. Getting your trouser leg caught could be nasty.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

well as it turns out even though the support is made from box section there is enough flex for it to rub the tyre so i have to put steady bars on after all,so with that in mind i,I've made a start on the number plate side mount. why i hear you ask ,well so as to be able to make the steady for the mudguard symmetrical i am going to mount the numberplate on the lift side of the swing arm and then the steady can go to it as well ,all will become clear as i progress so some pics to be going on with got some u section to hold the numberplate and cut 2 V's in it to allow me to make 2 90 deg bends  scanner's bobber  scanner's bobber and welded up the corners  scanner's bobber fits snuggly round the plate  scanner's bobber then welded 2 angles together to make a top  scanner's bobber which also lets me mount a light above the plate  scanner's bobber then it got toooo cold in the shed so you will have to wait for the next thrilling installment !  |

Yup, definitely a chill in the air now. I've tried side mount plates on hardtail chops in the past & was always amazed how much bracing they needed. It's suprising how much they flex with vibration & wind pressure against them, especially on full sized, 9" x 7" plates.

Nice conversion!
The plate does look humungus though.
Correct me if I am wrong but I am sure the number plate needs to be lit when the lights are on. Not sure if that's an MOT fail but may be worth checking out.

Check out the last 2 pics and writing on reply 18 to clarify about the illumination |
