RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux
So I was bored at home so I went outside to stare at my bike. I then decided that I figured I could make a Laydown license plate holder myself by bending the stock bracket. I then took the 2 piece bracket off andseperated them. I took the piece that the plate screws into directly and wrapped it in a dish towel. I took a chug of beer and proceeded to beat it until desired layback was achieved. Total time 10 min, I had to go in and get another beer. Total cost-FREE. Let me know what ya think.

Yeah, stell55 did this back on page 11,
but, he didn't mention the beer.
Now, this one sounds more interesting.

Side Mount License Plate Bracket (Free)
I took off the stock bracket and sat down with my dogs and a six pack while watch an old episode of biker build off (with Indian Larry) for some inspriation. After about a half hour of bending around and trying to line the holes up, it eventually worked. Sorry I'm not more precise with how I did it but it's like one of those triangle shapped wooden puzzles with the golf tees that you have to remove. The only time you ever actually succeed you can't ever remember how you did itfor the next time.
Horn Relocate (45 hanging bracket)
I know a few people have done this but I thought I would throw in my two cents as well, I bought a 3" hanging bracket from an autoparts store put it in a vise and bent the end down 90degrees. Bolted it under the top bolt for the rear exhaust support bracket and it lays down under the battery box.
Thanks to everyone that's been posting here...keep'r between the lines.

License Plate Lowdown
Super easy. License plate lawdown method that uses no mounting bracket. License plate is bolted directly to fender. (Hear me out on this one) Remove bracket and pull plate. Use rear tire as form to bend plate to same radius as rear fender. Approximate is OK, you can tweak it later. Use mounting bracket as a template to drill three holes in plate (top tip triangle). Buy door ding strips (black plastic channel strips that fit on edge of car doors) and work them around the edge of plate. Heat and glue as needed. Use soft (pile) side of velcro or felt pads to lay a soft base on back of plate. Stove bolts (small machine bolts) through the plate, with backplate of thin metal or heavy duty plastic stock and lock washers, then nuts. Check clearance for wires and tire (should be same as bolts/nuts for bracket, so no problem) I get a lot of compliments on this plate. I only did it because I couldn't find a laydown that was low enough to give a good profile. It still catches some light from the illum window in the tailight (Kurk smoke with standard bulb). I can post more pics when I add a better backplate. 2 hrs, taking my time, hand tools only. Last picture is with the plate mounted, it is hard to see from the side.
