Default What is this bracket?

Hi guys. I hope Jason628 doesn't mind but I've been checking out his ride and can't figure out who manufactures the license plate bracket you can see in the picture that goes between the top and bottom belt guard bolts. I think it's made by Pro-One and can be seen in the Custom Chrome Catalog but I have my doubts.

Anything like this that will fit the rocker that you guys know about?

bondyhog,

i have no idea about your question but i am also interested in finding out...i want to relocate my license plate to the side like that but want it in the horizontal position...maybe even with the top tilted towards the front of the bike a bit.

however with it sitting that low isnt it going to clip the ground when you lean over and clip the peg? i clip a peg every once and a while specially if theres a bump in the road on a curve that compresses the rear shocks. actually the hd dealorship near me had a license plate that they tried to do that with...not sure where it was located on the swing arm but basically when they tested it...it tore off and i would hate to have that happen...

anyways maybe there is one that attaches to the upper part of the swingarm? anyone?

thank VK

btw I found some horizontal plate holders that might be kinda like what you want except that these attach to the passenger peg....they do seem to be a little more out of the way though...

I might be going out on a limb here, but I bet if you PM him and ask you'd get your answer.

Greetings,

PM answered...LOL...And for those inquiring minds it's a V-Twin Motorcycle Parts belt guard bracket made for a 06-07 FXST. It appears the Rocker shares the same belt guard bracket as the Softail Standard. I'm using LED license plate light bolts for light. I have rubbed the license plate, but nothing major and not noticable. I used to drag the factory pegs a lot, but with the ones I have now that's not an issue. Here's a pic from a different angle for you:
