Finally received my cool little patent plate. Now ... where does it go, exactly? Also, how to affix? Rivets/glue? Pics would be greatly appreciated.

The front sprocket cover is the safest place. I removed the cover, then drilled tiny, and I mean very tiny, holes using the plate as a template. Then tap the screws in place. They protruded slightly from the back side, so I used a hot glue gun to help hold them in place. You could use different types of glue or epoxy to help hold it.

It is a trademark plate that came on the old Triumphs.

Nice can you get one that hasn't been pre drilled so you can glue it on ?

The rivets are key to the look, IMHO... If I were going to glue it on, i'd cut the screws/rivets and glue them in first, then glue the whole thing on...

Yep, gotta have the rivets! If someone doesn't have a drill bit small enough, you could use a thumb tack or something to start the holes. All that is needed is a small pilot hole to start the screws in.
