You are correct. See an 800cc starter bike is OK for Ed because he is amazing in every way, but all us mere mortals must not go over 250ccs EVER or we will all be killed instantly.

First things first, get rid of that piece holding the license plate. In the last pic it looks like the bike is taking a dump.

Just go to Home Depot and get some L brackets.

He can just use the brackets from the rear reflectors, if they came with the bike.
