Is there something different about the rear fender on the new Low Riders? Where did you guys get your laydown plate?

Another vote for the Hogrida plate. By far the best I could find as far as laying low towards the fender, plus it's may be one of the most inexpensive. It's made with good quality parts though. See the pick below to see mine.

Still trying to find a laydown plate holder for my Low Rider. Still wondering WHY a laydown license plate will fit a 2009 Low Rider, but NOT fit a 2014-16 Low Rider? Bigger fender? Holes in different spot? Or what? I have the old license plate holder from my 2011 FXDC, and it looks exactly like the one on my new Low Rider. What's the difference? J&P Cycles says the laydown WILL fit a 2011 FXDC, but WON'T fit the new Low Riders.

I think the plates you are looking at were released before the 2014 FXDL was released. That's why you don't see the newer model listed. I'm fairly certain it will fit, but a call to customer service may help clear it up for you.

Don't get caught up in that. Vendors leave things out.

It says "Does Not Fit Your 2016 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider FXDL" because it's not in the list...anything not in the list will say that ...right or wrong

So do you believe that it also doesn't fit a 2011 FXD? In that example you can't even get to "Does Not Fit Your 2016 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider FXD". See below






Also use your resources and references. H-D.com says they're interchangeable...what's different about this mount?

It's just a simple license plate mount

Spring is in the air and for us in the cold climates, it is time to get the LRs ready. I cannot wait to resume commuting to work.

Just noticed this~


Cosmic Blue appears almost "greenish" during sunset.

Cool, I always wanted a green Dyna!

BTW, this is the first pic of my new bike, from the dealership parking lot!

The 2015 (near one) has the HD "lay down" license plate mount. The 2016 (far one) is mine. it sure is nice to have a gf who rides her own!
