Rocker tail light question
Hey guys. I'm new here and have a general question about the rocker. I'm wondering if the license plate mount acts as a tail light or brake light, or does it just illuminate the plate? Also, do the turn signals act as brake lights or just turn signals? Thanks.

Thanks. So I guess my question is, if I get a side mount license plate bracket, do I need to get the one with the light on it or can I get the one without? I prefer the one without but I just want to make sure I have all of my lights required. I don't want to lose anything by doing this. I'm out of the country and pick up my bike next week but wanted to go ahead and order the bracket so that's why I'm asking. Thanks.

That being said, there are several options for the side mount plate, vertical, horizontal, or curved. Listed are a few componies that make both: the Roto-plate has a nice piece, and so does Heartland Biker, and even Kuryakyn. Use the "search" tool, you'll find many options.

Most city Ordinances say that motorcycle plates need to be visible at all times so, it would be safe to say, get a side mount with a running light on it.

I used a side mount kit without a light and then bought licence plate bolts with built in LEDs. Work great and look awesome. Found them on E-bay cheap. Unless you really look hard they look like regular bolts but are bright at night.

I guess I should clarify a little. I'm referring to the brake/tail light on the mounts; not the license plate illumination light. Obviously I would get one that illuminates the plate; it's the other light that I don't want.
