Default Still Need Rocker help!!!

My Rocker C needs help.
1) How do you mount a vertical license plate??
2) How do we lower it?

Some one has to know or make parts for these Harleys

Had three choices from catalog, arlen ness, Lcc, and harley davidson, all on the same page. Harley's is a set adjustment. ANess, and Lcc adjust 2 inces either way. You can adjust it where you want it. Even slam it down to the rubber bumper behind seat and make it a ridgid. I went with the Lcc because it looked like better stuff,(nylon lock nuts).

P.S the catalog states except fxcw and fxcwc. If you go by that your missing out on lots of things that will work. Although its called a rockertail its just a name because the fender mounts to swingarm. Its still is a softail, and operates exactly the same.
