I found this picture from another thread:

Bike is either a 1989 or 1990 model they were on available in the US for two years, a bit longer in the UK. They came stock with flat bars, which I still have. I actually have two of them now and eventually will convert one back to flat bars or possibly butterfly bars.

There is a welded on plate and then there is a second plate that generator mounts to that is bolted under the kickstand. There is picture of that floating around somewhere too. I have to re-host my pictures and just haven't gotten them all moved over yet.
