Default Licence laydown...curved or flat?
Getting set to order a laydown kit for my license on an '07 Heriatge. Here's my problem. I can't decide if I want a flat one with the frame that covers the edges or a rounded one. The rounded one with a frame is a little more than I'd like to spend but will if it looks nicer.

Anyone got pics of a flat and or curved laydown on their bike? Heritage owners encouraged to post!

Thanks

Make your own. It will follow the fender much better.

The softbrake one that mounts under the tail light looks much better IMO.

I made my own mount below the fender and will either use black plugs or the emblem Harley makes to cover the holes.
