I got the trucker lady side mount and even thought it said it fit years 89 to 2009 I still had to get a longer rear axel to make it fit ... watch what you buy ... I got lucky and the local chopper shop made me a new one for 25 bills but you might not get so lucky.... they do have some that mount to the swingarm and not the axel , but they are boockoo dollars ..

If I get the axle mounted one do I have to get a longer axle? And if not how does it mount to it?

only way to know is to get the plate you want and see if it fits ...jp sells longer axels for like 70 bucks ...

As a followup to my other post on the Kuryakyn. I had the visible chrome cover powdercoated gloss black and that improved the looks 100%. Only costed $10 for the powdercoat job. The Kuryakyn runs about $150, but I got mine on Ebay for $50. I ended up taking it off since the cops in the area I ride a lot (Deals Gap) loves to give $200 tickets for vertical side mounted tags. I understand that Daytona was bad this year also with fines up to $1000 for improperly mounted tags, even if you were from out-of-state. The hassle just wasn't worth it.

You do not need a longer axle, the bracket will replace the washer behind the axle nut.
