Default License Plate Location

I am not sure I like the License Plate being on the Side like it is on the Low Rider S. I see Canadian Models have it attaching to the bottom of the rear fender.


I looked on the Harley Web Site as well as in the Microfiche for the S and don't see anything that puts it on the fender.


I'm sure if it can't be moved to the fender then there are aftermarket replacements that may have a little better appearance to it. I did see the one that locates it vertical but in some places that is not allowed.


Is there any that locate the plate horizontal? And, if there is has anybody installed it on theirs?

Moving the plate was the first thing I did, I think the plate hanging off the side looks like absolute crap.

I moved my plate using the relocation kit from Easy Brackets. Their website sucks, but their products are good. It has holes to move the tail lights too, but I didn't move them as I didn't like the way the bike looked with them that far back.

HD also sells one, but it's plastic and I didn't want that piece of plastic hanging off the back of my Lowrider S.

That looks good Ghost, I would rather it hang down from the fender though.

Suede, I can't open the photobucket pictures from the server I am using, I'll have to get somewhere else to look at them or maybe you can post another way.

I looked on the Easy Brackets site and could not find one for the FXDLS, you are right about their site. You have any pictures you can post?

Custom dynamics makes a nice one that follows the curve of the fender.

FXDLS and the FXDB use the same fender and lights. Look for one for a 15-16 FXDB

I took a look there and didn't see a mount for below the fender. The way the fender is chopped off on the S the plate wouldn't be visible. That might be a good thing, lol.


But they have all kinds of lighting that I will look into for the Glide, thanks for referring that site to me.
