2014 SGS HD Curved License Plate Bracket
I purchased the curved license plate bracket. The instructions state to remove the rear light bar. I can't find the bolts to remove the light bar? any help would be greatly appeciated.

I just put one on; it might help if you have someone hold on to the bar while you are removing it. You have to reach up inside of the rear fender and there are 2 bolts that are loctited in, so remove those and that will free up the bar. Once that is done there are 2 screws on the fwd side of the bar that secure the plastic license plate holder; just remove those, install the curved plate holder and reinstall the bar. Included is a reflector, which I did not use and a couple of self adhesive shim/bump pads to install between the bottom of the holder and the fender. I did have to enlarge my license plate holes and trim it a bit so it would fit inside the enclosure. Hope this helps.

I'll go out in the shop this AM and shoot a couple of pix; it really compliments the rest of the fender. These should be standard for as much as you pay for these bikes rather than a cheap plastic holder.

Thanks everyone. I agree, for the bucks I paid for this ride, it should have a nicer holder. They sure make it difficult to access the holder. I'll work on this project this weekend.

Had me worried; as in the pix it looks like it is scratched, went out to look and it was a streak of wax thank goodness. Whew.

I wound up using a small 1/4" drive ratchet once I broke the bolts loose; just be patient and take your time, the end product will be well worth your effort.

In Texas we have to display our State Inspection Sticker which is normally just right below the plate. I was going to buy one of these last week but wasn't sure about how I was going to mount the Inspection Sticker Plate.
Anyone have any ideas or pictures of how this can be mounted to the License Plate Holder?
