Default Relocate License plate bracket Deluxe

Anyone have any pics of the back of their deluxe with the license plate bracket relocated and how you implemented a light for the plate

I purchased the kit from Softbrake which relocates the plate under the light. Very clean. I'll post pic as soon as I figure out how.

The softbrake puts the plate below the taillight. I am working on getting a Cycle Vision Eliminator myself. The Eliminator eliminates the stock brake light and has LED brake light and signals built in on the sides. It puts the plate where the taillight used to be.

You can either buy light license plate bolts or you can go to autozone and get a led light strip a lot easier

On the web site Softbrake says that the plate bracket will not work with the stock deluxe tail light. Can anyone verify that or is that just their way of selling more of the $75 housings?

What did you do for a clear light to illuminate the plate ? Was there any issue with mounting ?
