Default 09 train plate delete?

Hey everyone. My search for a bracket of some sort to delete the license plate holder on my 09 nightrain is not coming out very well. I know a guy who cut his, but it doesnt look all that great to me. There is already an aftermarket tail light on there, so I dont want a new light. Just wondering if there is some product that puts a new black back on there.

I've been searching for months for something like this for my xbones... No luck. I ended up ordering a radiantz tail light and I'm just going to make a mount for it myself.

Which light did you stuff in there?

Go with the HD tri-bar light and a side mount plate. The wiring is easy and it cleans the whole thing up.

I cut mine off and I agree, it isn't the best look. I eventually plan on replacing the fender so that's why I haven't changed out the light to the tri-bar. Until then I'll just deal with it.

I'm just not diggin' the tri-bar look on the bones... Side mount plate for sure though, I've had the mount hanging in my garage since January

I'm hoping my half baked half-moon idea looks as good in reality as it does in my head... If not, back to the drawing board

I debated doing this myself, but decided against it. TBH it looks worse that I thought it would

What fender are you going with?
