Default GS400 mini license plate bracket

I've been searching for images or info. I want to run a mini plate on the front of my GS400, like this one.



Is there an OEM style mount for the 2GS to run a mini plate (4"x12")? Any help is greatly appreciated

*EDIT* I believe I found what I'm looking for.

How wide is the OEM bracket? The plate is 12 inches wide.

Just trim the bracket. The OEM bracket has an overhang all the way around the area that actually touches the bumper. Just trim off that overhang and it will be smaller than the plate.

I trimmed the OEM bracket that I bought and now it's perfect.
