 I am thinking of building a plate mount off the rear of swingarm , that places the plate  just above axle height BEHIND the tire. From the side the plate  is mounted at either 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock,  depends on side.
 A long time ago I rolled 1/4 inch and 3/8 material  to make a few with an pm inch radius.
 So it looks pretty good,  curved mount at the back.. got a fair idea of what I think we will do....but..
 I don't mind looking at a few dozen pics to cent some extra ideas.
 So WTF are these called  i been looking. But don't have a name.. even stock Indian FTR  has one stock..

 Btw I want to mount off both sides, guess I better think about tire removal. Was thinking 1/2 thin tubing x2 each side. Maybe flatten the tubing to look oval, cept at the ends..
 
 Anyone got a name for this style mount ?

I was looking to adapt one also recently. Had the most luck looking up “tire hugger splash guard.” Would love to see what you come up with.

 The thought came up that I suppose, it must swing away , or up to allow wheel removal.
 I am thinking  2 Bolts each side remove 1 each side and swing up  for wheel removal.

 Sounds interesting, the picture that pops into my mind is like a bike trailer hitch though. I'll wait for a picture.
