i have the harley relocation kit, you can kinda see it in my sig pic. i just dont like how the plate sits on the tube kit. i just ordered the customs dynamics plate frame and the kuryakyn bracket, this will also leave me the option to add another brake light to the under sider of the fender. was thinking of the DK customs slim tail light.

 

Got ya.

 

1+ on the Sick Saddles Solo. That's what I run. Ed is a great guy to deal with as well.

As far as the plate I've been running this setup for the last year. Just another example of what you can do with it.

 

How bright is it in the day time?

 

+1 on the Sick Saddles Solo!

 

They're pretty damn bright for just a small strip.

Here's a pic that was caught while I was riding so I zoomed it in on just the plate. This is just the running/taillight at about high-noon from a few lanes over and from the side. Kind of give you an idea of how bright they are. Night time they're really bright IMO.

 

Another question. Did you just drill holes in the fender and bolt it down to mount the plate frame?

 

Yes, I just drilled the holes in the fender and deburred them with a small counter sink. I also used small hard rubber washers in between the fender and the plate frame just to be sure it doesn't vibrate and make noise.

 

Here's my spin at the plate relocate - but I wanted to keep the bullets for better lighting (have Custom Dynamics LED's in them).

In order to use the quick detach kit for a sissy bar, I went with the Kuryakyn laydown curved plate mount and than the Custom Dynamics curved LED plate frame. I think Kuryakyn sells a matching LED curved plate frame, but couldn't find it when placing my order, so I used what I had.

I like it. Frame isn't a perfect match, and the LED wire from the frame was being pinched by my plate, so I ground a section down, taped it to the back of the plate and drilled a 4th hole in the fender (plate mount needed 3) to route the LED wire.

I also had to use longer bolts to mount the frame to the plate mount and ended up trimming the ends of the frame mounting bolts because I felt they stuck out of my fender too far (I'm lowered an inch with a lowering block kit) and didn't like the potential tire damage if I bottomed out.

I'm pretty happy. Got a little creative with my wiring and ensuring it'll all stay secure for the duration. Fun little project. Nothing like drilling into a brand new fender! I prefer the solo setup, but had to have the right 2-up stuff available for the wife.

Pics are crap - plate really is centered just fine - but you get the idea. I like this better than the alternatives. If I ever change it up I'll french it in.

 

ended up just bolting it straight to the fender. it was painful drilling holes in brand new paint, even my wife asked me why the hell was i messing up my paint! in the pic its a little crooked but i have adjusted it since then. i think its pretty clean looking flat on the fender.
