2017 road glide ultra laydown license plate

I have a 2017 road glide ultra. I removed the tour pack and installed the quick release docking station. Does anyone have any suggestions to find a laydown mounting bracket? currently using a mount that goes on top of the stop light. I have a luggage rack that is mounted on the docking station but it's a real tight fit. Id prefer a laydown bracket.

Thanks for any help.

I did the same thing. When I put the saddle bag lights on, it came with a new tail light bracket. I think if I'm careful, I can just bend it down to match the angle of the rear fender.

Hey kmcintee. I have the exact same bike and situation. I tried bending the billboard forward / down and it looks better but still not liking it. I have ordered a light-down replacement lens and am now searching for a bracket for the license plate. I might end up drilling the fender to mount a bracket. Not too happy about that!

Have you found any other alternative?
