Default In Memory Of

I replaced the rear end on my Street Glide last winter with the CVO version. To complete it, Id like to replace my license plate frame with a curved version but need to have one that can be customized with writing. My plate frame is "In Memory of My Son" frame. He has to always ride with me. There's a lot of guys that make these custom lettered frames but they are all straight frames. Does anyone know of someone who sells customized curved frames? Thanks for any suggestions folks.

I hope you find something that works for you. If not maybe custom derby cover.

I can't help with the plate frame but I can offer my condolences for your loss. I think its a great tribute to him. If you cant find one that works for you. Maybe you can have a local airbrush artist paint what you want on the rear fender of your ride.

Most of the curved frames have a a ball milled detail that would make it hard to get lettering on it. How about a brass or other metal tag with the inscription on it, then riveted (kind of old school) to the top or bottom cross piece of the curved frame? Those derby covers are nice also.

As others have said, condolences for the loss - I'm sure he already rides with you forever....

The license plate frame is a great idea. Sorry I can't help you in finding a curved one. Where do you get your flat one?

This is what I have now in memory of my son, but I love the plate frame idea.

My condolences, I know the heartbreak, and the desire to have him with me on the bike.
