Default License Plate Bracket revisited again....
Hello everyone...well I've been lurking on this forum for license plate brackets for a long time now and I can't seem to find anything close to what I am looking for...also my internet searches have come up dry...

SO I drew a pic of what I am looking for and if anyone has any idea if theres something out there like it please let me know! Thanks!

Is this what you're looking for? These pictures are quite bad, but you'll get the idea...



This is being done by my dealer in Amsterdam.

Allart...kinda...Im just worried about the clearance...I mean I already drag my pegs at least once a day and the bracket needs to be higher than my pegs...so it doesnt look like that would work for me....but thanks!

Chopper Bill...#640902 is kinda what I am looking for....I mean I guess I could swivel the bracket up about 45 deg and that would compensate for ground clearance...but then the plate wouldnt be perpendicular to the ground....I guess I am just being a picky bastard....

However if I dont come across the type of bracket I am looking for that option Chopper Bill is prolly what Id go with.....

Still open to ideas!

Thanks!

Does it absolutely have to be at the side by the axle?
Take a look at my plate holder with my signals relocated in my gallery. It's nice and clean.
