Lightbulb need help finding laydown licence frame

Can anyone tell me where to get a laydown licence plate frame to fit a Canadian plate. Everywhere I look are always for American size plates. I need one 5x8. I have a FLSTF stock fender.

Good luck with that... I am in Maryland and we have the same 'over sized' plate as you (until next year anyway). I searched high and low. Ended up going to Staples (office supply) and having a good photo copy made at 87%. Works great and you can pick any style laydown mount you want.

Rute Products in B.C. make some chromed, billet numbers, but they are pricey.
I have one and it's top-notch. http://www.ruteproducts.com/

I have a rute layback plate frame as well. Very high quality product, but get ready for sticker shock.
