Default Tag bracket options

I was looking at my FLHTP today and realized when I put a detachable passenger backrest on I will have to install a new part to hold my license plate. Currently the tag bracket is attached to the tour pack bracket, so when that goes off so will my tag. Just curious of my options out there, I was looking in the catalog the dealer gave me and they have a few tag brackets in there that I think would work but not sure. I'm going to try and put picture of my bike so you all can see what I'm going to have to deal with. Any other company's out there with a good aftermarket bracket?

With the tail light and blinker setup you have looks like you could use a a curved plate that a street glide would use. Did you change fenders ?

I have stock rear fender. Is there a difference in part numbers for a Street Glide rear fender and my bike?

Idk about different part numbers , with the setup you have though you should be able to use any plate the sg or rg use. The curved plates mount under the signals. I don't know how you would illuminate the tag though.
This may help

Not the best of pictures. I made a bracket to hold the plate on like a mud flap. Wired in bullet LEDS. It's been on since July with no problems.

I doubt your rear signal bar has the threaded holes to mount the Street Glide tag bracket.You may need to buy an 09 or older Street Glide rear signal bar.You should be able to find a used one cheap.
