Default Help relocating taillight & plate

Hi all, I'm planning on replacing my taillight and plate with the custom dynamics laydown LED taillight (not sure on the plate yet). Wondering if anyone here has experience replacing them? My fender doesn't look long enough in the back to replace the light above the end tip while placing a license plate holder above the light. Here's what my stock setup looks like:







I'd like to replace the light with this setup:

Any suggestions? Thanks

You have a bobbed fender. The light you posted is for a full fender. I have a Low Rider S with a bobbed fender. My solution was a Great Bike Gear plate mount with Custom Dynamic all in one plate bracket and Alloy Art strut lights.

Is this the only option for the bobbed fender? Are there any setups where I can have a sideways plate and keep a larger rear brake light?

If you like the OE turn signal style, I'd suggest dumping the brake light and using a "stop/turn/tail" controller from badlands or custom dynamics and get a plate mount from one of a dozen places. I've got one from cycle visions but there are literally dozens of choices.

I really wish HD made this for the dynas with the bobbed rear fender like they do for sporties! I had one and loved it. Looks good and added more lighting on the rear of the bike.

That is not my bike. My bike is in the shop as we speak getting modified. and I used that pic as a reference for the shop to install my licence plate frame.
