side mounted licence plate and sattlebags on deluxe

Hi,
has anybody found a solution to use side mounted licence plate in conjunction with the rigid P&A saddlebags on a deluxe? May sound like a stupid idea but love the looks of a sidemount licence plate and hate to get rid of my bags.

Why not go rear mounted.

Luxe, that was my first choice as seen on T-rats bike. love to do that but my technical skills limit me from making that support brake. How did you get yours? Made it yourself? Care to create a second one and make a fellow deluxe rider happy? i can pay you.

If you really want side mount look into a derby mount plate. May sneak in before bags, not sure how it might effect rear passenger peg though.

Moving parts (swingarm) and wires didn't make any sense to me so I went with http://www.softbrake.com/. Just a thought.

you have a point here on the moving parts jerseytwin. is just like deluxe's fender so much that i don't want it (partically) covered with an ugly california licence plate.
