I changed my back end quite a bit. I dont like the big lolipop turn sigs sticking way out, so I put in the HD touring rear sig bar. Relocated the plate below the sigs using a Softbrake relocation bracket. I also installed the HD turn signal conversion kit so that the turn sigs are turn/run/brake:
Then I covered the old plate holes with a custom part from Top Down Products:
Then I installed an lighted plate bracket from Radiantz:

Never had much of an issue with the "lollipops" but I have to say I like your setup. I run a cb antennae off the plate so the relocator wouldn't work but the tailights would. You say they're the HD touring sig tailights. They look more like the tombstones on a Deluxe. Do you have a part number or source for that.
Its not a sticker, its a machined piece. Send email to Dennis at topdownproducts dot com, he designed it based on an image I sent him and he had it fabricated for me.
BE AWARE however that it wont fit unless you have some sort of quick detach kit for the bags - the kits all add some space between the fender and the bags, that makes room for the bullet ends of the lights.
Thanks for the part # link Keith. Must've missed that in my HD catalog . I see where it states that it won't fit with oem bags but perhaps the docking hardware for my detachables provides for enough clearance. The inner edge of my bag is 2" from the fender. From your pictures it looks like it would work but if not I think a couple washers would do the trick.
