I relocated mine to double as a mudflap. Bought a led light and bolted it to the top of the plate and attached half of the original bracket to the attachment bolts of the back of rear fender trim. The light is plugged into the aux port in the tailight that powers accessory lighting or a tour pak.
Bought three little metal metal plugs from Home Depot and painted them glossy black too match and siliconed them in place.
i use the soft brake bracket mentioned. Very easy to install, just unscrew the two screws holding the turn signal bar, insert bracket and retightnen screws. I then replaced my tail light with a custom dynamics LED with bottom window so the plate is still lit up. Drag specialties also makes a $40 tail light with bottom window for a cheaper option.
Bought a vivid black sg fender takeoff for cheap and used the facia, tribar light and turns hardware. Made a bracket to mount the license plate using the fender tip holes. After stripping the fender of what I needed, I sold the fender.
I was thinking of going this route a while back. One of these things I discovered involves my BAL Tail light. It is not as simple as "Turning the lens over", nope, you must replace the light for a tag light down BAL. A whole new BAL light - nah, I decided to wait and chew that one over. Maybe later...
If I do later, as someone mentioned, I would go with the FLHR factory set up.
Found a plate holder on eBay that screws in the two left support brackets and angles it up and out so it sits in front of the bottom of the left saddle bag.
