I bought my bracket from ebay for $25.00 then cut and rewelded it. Also added some red LED license plate screws from pep boys.
these pics are old and the first one is after i got rearended, so excuse the slop job of the wiring, i've cleaned it up since.


The LED's really pop at night.

Here's mine. Little LED strip along the side of the plate (or top, if you will).

I run the Road 6 on my Nightrain, but mounted on the side opposite from the exhaust. It mounts on the axle and can be rotated up or down, so I would imagine it's a fairly universal fit

Sweet, man. Keep 'em coming.

Can't use anything pre-fabbed or manufactured from the states, tho, since bike plates in Japan are bigger and wouldn't fit. Looking for design and mount location ideas, specifically. Those products by Heartland and Roto-Plate are nice, tho. Pricey, but nice.
