Sidemount plate or if you are just trying to get rid of the stock black bracket you can go with a curved laydown plate like on my bike. I got it from Kuryakyn for about $40.00.

There is a guy in the for sale section that makes lay down plate holders for $20 shipped. They are awesome. I have one on my bike.
Here is a link to the thread.

Thanks for the replies. To install eitheroption, do they just bolt right up, no additional holes, needed right?

I wanted to add, my wife no longer catches her leg on the plate getting on and off.

Yes, the one I posted about will bolt right on. No mods. You will love it. It almost looks bolted to the fender but only uses the stock holes.

Aviator, that looks great. I am just waiting for Hogrida to get back to me. I am looking forward to getting one, that is a great mod.
