Here's what I did. Used the "old style" Harley vertical license mount (like on older FL / FX) and drilled three hole's in my fender and (to me) it look"s right. You can also use the "lay down license mount".Then I used a L.E.D. lighted license frame to be legal. Got rid of side mount by using a "right side" tail lite standoff. Might not be for everyone,but for me I like the look.
I know everybody has their own preference, but i like the side mount bracket you bought. I like the rear fender as clean as possible - no plates. My license plate is frenched in to my rear fender, and I have even thought about chopping the fender just to move the plate. Too much money for something I really dont need to do. I ended up getting a custom license plate with black background and powder coated the plate frame black to try and blend it in as much as possible.
Do you have any pics of this installed on the FLSL? The site onlu shows it on the FXBB? I know I can just extrapolate and use my imagination a little, but would love to see it installed on the Slim. Thanks.

Huh, I must be in the minority? I like the old school look of a side mount. I do wish I could flip mine vertically however, but the State of Vermont wont allow it!
