Default Softail Side Mount Liscense Plate

Does anybody have a good side mount liscense plate that would fit on a softail slim / blackline? (or one that I could modify to fit)

I have looked at the kuyakan but they will not fit because they attach directly to the swing arm which will not fit with my swingarm bag. The one I have in mind is the "in close" license plate holder made by Cycle Visions. It attaches directly to the axle. I do have to have a lighted plate in my state.

http://www.cyclevisions.com/index.ph...-cv4606bl.html

Has anyone installed a new plate directly to the axle? Is it a hard task to do? The dealer wants two hours for labor to install it (would include the wiring). I have no problem doing the wiring myself but I have never messed with the rear axle. I really dont want to pay the stealer another $200

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks - Cole

RSD has one. You can mount it on the side or rear axle.

TC Bros make a few types including axle nut mount. They are very sturdy.
