Default front license plate

By law in my country, we need to put a front license plate. I just order a RKC 08 and I need to find some device for this purpose. Any idea?
Thanks

If I were you I'd consider gettinga bumper from an Ultra. I'll bet you could rig something up to that.

Front license plate required on a motorcycle? Strange, and where I'm at we don't even have to run a front plate on a car or truck.

Are you purchasing the bike from a dealer where you live? If so, wouldn't it come with a front tag bracket? If not I would just ask the dealer what other Harley owners are using, since apparently every bike they sell have the same requirement.

I have a 2007FLSTF you can mount the front plate on the handle bars or the engine bar. Go to kuryakyn and you will be ale to find a holder for pda. It comes in two versions

What type of bike due you have? nothin g in the profile. If you have a Wide glide front end you can bend a support plate from the bolt on from underneath the tripple tree and put the plate right in front of the fork tubes.

How do other bikes around you have their setups?

Duct tape it to your helmet.

Seriously, what state requires a front plate on a bike? I just might hve to wave the BS flag on this one.

He said country so I am assuming it is not here. But you figure if it is law in that particular country then all bikes would have to come with a place to mount it.

believe it or not,there`s a law that just began controlled by cops, the interstate road uses adigital photo tocontrol the toll systems, so, if you don`t carry a front license plate, you are at risk ticket, because they can`t charge for the use the road..... incredible, but thats way it is.... this is in other country, not in USA. Thanks any way for the different ideas, specially tape it the helmet...jajajajaja.... maybe on the sunglasses. MICHALISLARNACAI`ll see kuryakyn Thanks you.
