Default licence plate

hey all, first post for me but i've been reading the posts for a while. seems like there's a lot of info from some dudes with some pretty sick bikes.
i'm having trouble finding a curved lay down licence plate mount for a canadian plate (5"x8"). any suggestions?
also, i'm gunna try to post some pics of my bike, looking for suggestions and comments. (i could use a winter project)
cheers!

Welcome to the forum from upstate NY!! Great look'n bike too!
I don't have an answer for your plate question, but I have a question for you. I noticed you don't have rear signals. They aren't required in Canada? Just wondering

get a side mount for a regual plate, then just get a piece of Alum, bend that to match the curve you want on your plate, trace your stock plate on it, cut it out... riveit that to the plate holder and then bolt your plate to the piece of alum... easy man

The signals are built into the taillight. LED. pretty slick little set up. i don't remember the brand but i picked it up at the local hd dealer. i'll see if i can find a name on it when it warms up. is -30 degrees celcius here right now. i'm not going outside unless i have to

Thanks,
I've tried this place already, they sell to the dealerships and it retails for $200.00. seems like a bit much to me. plus, they dont have a curved one.
