Motor plates like this one carry real load - they're what keeps the engine from shifting in the frame under vibration and torque, and they also usually give you a mounting point for the footrest assembly. Because it's a structural piece, fit and condition matter more than most brackets on the bike.
This one appears across catalog listings spanning 1971 to 1974. If you're replacing a cracked or stretched plate, it's worth checking the bolt holes and the footrest mount for wear before you button everything back up. Give us a call if you want to confirm it matches what's currently on your bike.
