RE: Deluxe laydown plate
I got mine for '05 Deluxe from Dennis Kirk. Looks/fits/works fine. About 15 minutes to install. Here is the link: http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/produc...p?skuId=H27114
I don't think it lists FLSTN in the description of what it fits but it's the right one.

RE: Deluxe laydown plate
I don't know about the Deluxe, but for all my bikes I have made my own lay down licence bracket.
I use the lower section of the stock bracket. I simply put it in a vice and bend it back. I then drill two holes to access the mounting screws. I add a chrome licence trim and presto! Laydown bracket.

Although I have seen the above done and does work, I didnt like the fact the back was not finished off and left that ugly lic plate showing...[:@] I guess i just like the Bling Bling crap

RE: Deluxe laydown plate
I looked at the one @ dennis kirk. It looks like the one at J&P cycles, only in the pic it looks like it lays down more. J&P told me thiers only lays back 2". They are listed for the springer but Im thinking that the springer and deluxe have the same tombstone tail light.
Ive made em before too. But the stock one has the reflector on it which makes it taller, Im want to go shorter with out a ho lot of effert.

When I make my own I remove the reflector and drill two new licence plate mounting holes where the reflector was.

RE: Deluxe laydown plate
The laydown bracket from Dennis Kirk is a Drag Specialties. Definately cleans up the look but one caution if you are interested. I put a Will & Max truck on the luggage rack and now it pretty much hides the plate completely, especially if the that trunk bag sags a bit.
