That's a fun and quick fender stay method, Tom. My Riv Road has no plate, and only a small drain hole on the chainstay bridge. I used a rubber covered P-clamp and a long bolt to span the gap (you filled the gap with a cork, nice). The long bolt allowed me to fine tune the fender arc.
I can get a picture later if you want it, Jim. Very nice bike. The cream longboards look fantastic with the Riv head tube and decals.
