tail light and plate bracket - need a change
i need some ideas for the rear end. i want to put on something low profile (and led) to replace the tail light, and i'd like to mount the license plate on the side, but will i have to put in an ugly plug to fill the hole in the fender when removing the current bracket?

Here is what I just did to mine. Pretty cheap actually. Got the tag light frame for 30 bucks and the mount itself on ebay for about 20. I have it another thread but if you need specifics just let me know. Oh and I got some plastic plugs from Home Depot that I painted and used on the tag and light bar holes. They also make a triangular shaped emblem that mounts in the tag holes and I think J&P cycles carries it. Pretty slick but pricey.

i made my own for under $32. you can buy one made if you have that kind of money.

Good deal on the 32 bucks. Jeez 360 big ones for that other bracket....
You can piece together some pretty nice stuff if you just think about it and shop around.

thanks for the input - i'm not going to put that kind of money in a tail light for sure.
do you have to remove the rear tire to access the mounts on the inside of the fender for removal?

Nope. Just stick your hand between the fender and the wheel. If your bike is lowered put it on teh lift to create a little more clearance for you arm.
