It's just sheet metal as you suspected. It is sort of wedged between the tank and rearsets and stayed in place perfectly. If I do another build where I need to keep the sidecovers, I'll do the same but instead will weld tabs or use clamps that will allow me to mount the number plate within the frame, instead of on top of it.
I miss the XS400 that I did the numberplates on. It was my first bike and a great learning experience. It took a beating and just kept on ticking; it was dumped twice, slid 15ft when I hit some loose gravel and was hit by a car. The picture shown was taken a couple days after I was hit by the car.
Anamagous - Let's see some pics of your progress. You should post your own build to keep us updated.
