Default Tag Relocation

Looking to place the tag under the turn signal bar without drilling holes. My preference would be to replace the turn signal bar with one that included the tag underneath.


No LED's, conventional lighting only. Wondering if anyone has found a decent aftermarket conversion. Side mount verticle conversion is my last choice but not ruling that out.


Thanx in advance.

I think Kuryakyn makes a replacement turn signal bar that will allow mounting of a replacement plate bracket. don't know whether these run incandescent or LED. You'd still have the mounting block on top of your existing tombstone, however.

The softbrake setup (better option imo, I looked into both) replaces your existing housing, and has a bracket that slips under the existing tail light bar and mounts behind the tombstone. No need to drill any holes. You can run all stock lights

You will lose your plate lighting with either setup. I used an LED plate frame from Custom Dynamics.
