I got mine from road6customs on ebay $20.00. I got the vertical but they have the horizontal for $14.99 already powder coated black. http://stores.ebay.com/ROAD-6-CUSTOM...QQftidZ2QQtZkm

I just added some LED tag bolt lights from CustomDynamics for $16.00 a pair.

road6customs on ebay, Great customer service. Bought a vertical last year from them. Ordered a horizontal this year because of ticket, the first one they sent got lost in the mail and they immediately sent me another one.

I was impressed.

Its also one piece, no welding, so you dont have to worry about breaking off.

funny, I just posted this same pic on another thread. But anyways, cut the plastic one off with a cut-off wheel and I got this plate on eBay WITH the lighted chrome frame for $60 shipped and I personally believe it is really good quality for the money. It bolts to your lower shock bolt.

My Brother did his and when our bikes are parked next to each other his looks like it's got a lift kit on it and mine looks slammed (we both have the 412's). The license plate frame makes the bike look much lower - which you may or may not care about - just sayin.

What are you saying? That you dont have the side mount plate and him having the side mount makes the bike look higher? And do you have a Fat Bob? Please clarify cause I definetly dont want my bike to look higher.

How does this mount? rear shock bolt? I have the HD full axel nut covers I need one that uses somthing other than the axel to hold it on.

I got mine on ebay for 25-30 bucks I forget. Some people feel like they need a rear licence plate light...I don't. You can buy mediallions to cover up the three hole pattern on the rear fender. My mediallion came chrome but I took that off with the grinder and applied rattle can gloss black..It blends in with my black fender better. I suggest you get the kind that mounts thought the axle (not the top belt guard mount).
