side mount license plate
ok i recently ordered a leatherworks swingarm bag, and now i want to relocate the plate to the side on my 09 xbones..
#1 - any recommendations on which side mount plate kit to buy that will still allow the clearance for the swingarm bag?
#2 - is the stock license plate holder removable? i admit i havent inspected it closely, but it looks like it is attached to the taillight assembly. does it have to be cut off? i store my bike during the winter at a family garage, or i would just go out and look closer..
thanks for your info guys

here is a kuryakyn one, but it mounts to the swingarm.
does anyone have this one? will it mount to the right side? cause my right side is wide open and a swingarm style would be ok..
otherwise stilll looking for suggestions on a axle mount one for the left side..

Axle mount for the 08-09 Softails. It is intended to be a vertical mount however I drilled the holes to make it a horizontal mount. It does have a plate light. I'm not sure if it is available with a tail light though.

Heartland makes a nice passenger peg mount plate holder. It looks good. For me I try to send these bikes out "Close" to being legal. So I mount the plates horizontal and behind the axle. Different states = different requirements.
