This one in gloss black. It rotates 360degrees while on the bike and is very well built. I had a cheap plate bracket fail on me so decided to spend on a nice one. I've used it for almost 2 years now no issues. Only complaint is it installs to the wheel axle on Dyna models.

Road 6 Customs Model A mount. Powdered black. Converted to LED too. Sorry, crappy iPhone pic while some kid was screaming at me from behind asking me questions about bike. 
I was like.... BEAT IT ya little bastard!!! 
Oh, before anyone says anything, my rear tire is not out of alignment. I had to lean slightly left while turning around in that gravel parking lot.

Figure Engineering on a Fat Bob.
Nicely made ... bracket is 3/8" thick, sturdy aluminum; frame and backing plate is well crafted; slots let you adjust how far it tucks in; LEDs are completely hidden inside the frame; can swap to left or right side.
But ... designed for a Sportster where the shock bolt is at the very end of the swing arm; led wires are very thin
Wires are designed to thread through the channel machined into the top of the bracket (you can kind of see it on the one picture). I wasn't sure how I was supposed to get them out the backplate w/0 drilling a hole and I opted to protect them a little more - so, I ran it thru the slot and covered with a 1/8" ID black rubber windshield washer hose all the way to under the seat. Wire is completely protected and it blends into the swing arm.
I'm also getting a longer bracket machined (another 1 1/2") so the plate sits behind the caliper and I can tuck it right up against the rotor. When its done, the plate won't stick out any further than the exhaust pipe.
