Default Tombstone tail light on Fatboy, anyone?

Who has this kuryakyn tombstone tail light on a pre 07 Fatboy? Please post a picture, does it cover the license plate holder bolts? Thanks!

not sure, i was going to go with it but decided on the $12 light instead.
by the way the harley tag mount was made for the curved fender and early 07 they used the 06 bracket and the curve on the bracket put 2 chips in the fender paint. that is what is covered under the decals
the wires are covered in poly rope from lowes and coated with super glue and the metal shaft is a tin foil lid from peanut can
the tail lamp is old turn lamp from older harley and i made plexiglass tag lamp on bottom side

I have wondered about these lights myself. It sure would be a lot cleaner to have the license plate below the taillight.

I've just got a side mounted license plate, just want to clear the rear fender. I phoned Kuryakyn tech support, they said this one is universal, it is hard to say whether it fits or not, the best looking one I have ever seen.

128auto, which side mount plate did tou go with? I love this taillight. Does it mount in the existing taillight hole? I am also on a mission to clear the rear fender.

I don't know, that's why I post this question, hopefully someone has an answer for us, I really like that kuryakyn tombstone light, if it covers the existing license plate holes, even better.

you can get a license frame that has the brake and turn on it and then mount it flush where the stock one was

That is the same as I've got, the only difference is the add-on brake light, not for me.
