Can you post some picks of the Leatherworks bag mounted on the XBones. I think that bag would look great on there and be very functional. Thanks.

I love the clean look of the side mounted plates but be aware that some states, Florida in particular, have in acted legislation to make that method of license plate mounting illegal with a stiff fine even with the first offense.

Correct you are. That is why I horizontal mount the plates I do here.

that looks great! i appreciate you posting those pics nowbmw..

i ordered a road 6 customs one yesterday, cause i emailed them about the 1" axle version and they not only responded fast but seemed very friendly.. now i need to find some led bolts and a vivid black license plate frame to bend and put on..

after seeing those pics, i am glad i ordered it..
