What did they say...

I tried to go look for it but couldn't find it.

I ordered another one to replace the one that snapped. I needed to move my license plate because on the 2013, I couldn't install the quick release sissy bar without moving the license plate - but I didn't want to buy the HD license plate relocation kit.

I think the Road 6 is a good mount, I really liked how it looked - I just need to figure out how to make it not get so much vibration. I may try and find some rubber spacers or something in addition to the bolt I use, maybe that will prevent it snapping. I also could have potentially torqued it down too hard and put too much stress on it.

I was goning to mount it on my lower shock bolt on the inside with a washer so it doesnt get moved around at all by the shock moving. I guess i will just wait and see when it gets here. I also use the quick disconnect backrest for my girl so i needed something in this style anyways.....

I had the same issue with my shock mounted license frame, lost it somewhere in Montana on a road trip, snapped off right next to the lower shock mounting bolt. Switched to an axle mount and have had no issues.

I had the same one you ordered (horizontal mount) and as others have posted, mine broke completely off. Didnt find out until I was already home and the license plate was gone. Had to call DMV and let them know about the missing plate and order a new tag. I wrote Road 6 customs about the broken plate, but never heard anything back.

Yep supposed to be. Getting caught is kind of like you and a buddy running from a bear. Just make sure you can run faster, or know your buddies weakness "screws in ankle or something like that"

Anyways its under G.S. 20-63 Listed below. The good part is in bold red. I call top bunk when we get locked up.
