Default Laydown license plate holder?

Recommendations for a laydown license plate holder/frame that fits a springer classic with the tonbstone tailight? I have seen some bikes with them on and they look way better than the OEM straight up ones that HD puts on the bikes. Thanks.

I put this one on my Heritage. It fits anything with the standard three-hole configuration.

The haulenAss one looks good and says that it fits my bike specifically. Thanks for the info and links.

+1 on the Kuryakyn curved laydown holder. I get lots of compliments on it.

And, the Küryakyn is all chrome and comes with the license frame. Nothing to add.

This is the one I used. The Kuryakyn does not work on the tombstone (unless they have changed).

I don't think they had the haulenass one at the time.

You might check out Softbrake, also. Looks a little cleaner than a laydown, imo, especially solo.

Here is a picture of my first laydown tag bracket from Drag Specialties.
And the second picture and third is the softbrake bracket, like El Supremo suggest also.

The Softbrake is a cleaner install when used with the new tombstone tail light cover also, which eliminates the tag light.
