Default 08 deluxe laydown license plate

Aynone know where I can get a laydown license plate holder for a 08 Deluxe or something that gets rid of that OEM plate holder? I'm trying to go with the solo look and that stock plate holder doesn't cut it.

I use the plate relocation kit from Softbrake. It relocates the plate below the taillight and provides a much cleaner look, especially solo. Do a search. There are plenty of pics here. This was also discussed here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...relocator.html

Thanks jwilson, that's what I'm looking for. I assume you need to buy the tombstone lens plus the relocation bracket for the clean look. Do you know anything about the LED plate frame?

Thanks again!!!

Yup, two separate parts: the license plate bracket and the new tombstone housing. I strongly suggest a lift of some sort for installing; however, it can be done without.

Can't help with the LED Frame.

Rocker +1 on the Softbrake. I went with their license plate frame that has 7 LED's built in under the top lip that lights up the plate very well. Its a bit pricey though..$50 dollars. If you check the site, one of the guys put one on similar I think for J&P that was much less and looked very good. Attached is a pic, not the best quality.

Good luck
