Default New guy from Canada

Hey everyone,
Signed up a few months back but got super busy and forgot to post my hello.
I am in the Edmonton area and ride an 09 Street Bob.
There are defintily a few things I will be looking for on the forum.
First one will be about a lay down licence plate bracket. I have the limp dick light on my bike and am wondering if anyone out there has installed the bracket?
If so, does it cover the hole left by the light? If there is a thread out there about this can someone point me in the right direction?
Anyway, I'll leave it at that for now.

Can you elaborate on your headlight problem?

Welcome from west Michigan. Don't have any ideas about your tail light, but may suggest moving the bag off the forks to the sissy bar. That's some serious air getting blocked from the engine for cooling.

Welcome from New Brunswick,I would think that the lay down plate would use the same 3 holes as the current one,at least it did on my Superglide,can't see why it would be any different.

Since your bike is black why not use a rear fender off a Lowrider S? They look like they're the same shape and style, just won't have the hole for that tail light. Seen several pop up from people putting a full length one on.

Not sure if they changed anything between the years, so someone will need to chime in on that, just an idea. Otherwise you're welding and painting or doing an Andy Dufresne with a big old sticker.
