Come on....NOBODY has this part?
Why hasn't some aftermarket company created a replacement panel for the back of the bobtail fender that eliminates the license plate hang down?
They'd make a fortune.
I see some people have modified/cut the plate bracket off...but that seems a bit Mickey Moused (no offense to yous who've done it)....mostly it's because I'm not that skilled with a Dremel.

Do you mean the licence plate bracket ? if so then the HD tri bar light gives you the option to eliminte that.
i often thought haw cool a filler would be to go in the bob tail and then have a side mount plate (is that wot you mean ? )

I don't want to add the LED tri bar piece and it looks funky with the plate bracket removed anyway (from pics I've seen).
I just can't believe a company has not created a replacement tail light housing/panel with eliminated plate bracket. Seems like such an easy thing to do and plenty of people have asked this question before me.

I guess I'm gonna have to take it to a shop that can cut it right and refinish it.

The license plate bracket is part of the tail light housing. Are you saying to remove the whole assembly? This would eliminate the tail light and leave a huge opening under the bob tail.

put in a more streamlined tail light, that doesnt use the obnoxious bracket and relocate the license plate with a side mounted unit.

Other than the LED Tri one (which I don't want to use and looks funny with the plate bracket removed), a new tail light housing without a license bracket does not exist.
