8" of thin light chain, 2 bolts, nuts and some washers.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm sure the license bracket won't break. It's firmly attached, and is manufactured from a very tough polymer. However, I lost a license plate from my XR650L when the aluminum plate fractured. :roll: The state of Idaho charges about $10 for a replacement license plate.

My friend Andy, a professional diesel mechanic, inspected the bracket and thinks the license plate will be fine. However, I am inclined to add a plastic rectangle to the license bracket, and mount my plate to the plastic rectangle.
