Softail Deluxe-Relocate License Bracket?
GF has a new 2009 Deluxe and wants to move the stock license plate bracket from above the tombstone tail light to BELOW the tombstone tail light. Dont see anything from HD that accomplishes this. What has anyone done to make this happen? Would prefer to NOT do any drilling into the rear fender if at all possible.
many thanks!

Yup, softbrake. No drilling, just need to splice a light in, and some patience if you don't have a lift
Don't forget, you will need to buy a plate light too. I used 2 bolt lights, but most use the radiantz frame

Kozy22, that is a sweet looking Deluxe. Is that Red Hot Sunglo? yeah, now I am mulling around what to do about illuminating the plate if I move it below the tombstone.....elaborate more on how you did yours if you will please. Also does the stock plate bracket separate from the tombstone or am I also now looking at replacing the actual tail light itself?

You can add a Radiantz plate bracket which has a LED light bar along the top, very discrete and illuminates well. Just run the wires behind the bracket and into the fender hole and back into the tail light, wire the hot lead to the blue wire.

I like this for $20. Just splice its wire to the blue tail light wire?

Have you all been just leaving the license plate mounting tab on top of the tail light or have you been changing out the tail light for one that does not have the mounting tab on top of it?
