The plate looks fine there, but that relocation brings up a question, how do you light the plate?
Good question...

Since the mount that I came-up with is a tube, I am going to drill a hole thru themountingplate - thatshould allow me to run the wires internally and keep them hidden.

For power, I will tie into the rear fender tip lamp.

As far as theplate light itself...I will either get alicense plate frame with a built-inLED, orsome LED plate bolts -whatever Ican find that looks most 'minimal'.
