RE: Side Mount Plate on FXSTS

hey chopperhammer
i see your only 2 towns over from (although jackson is huge) come spring we should hang out and ride together

i need to get some pics of my sidemount on here
i think its a pro-1 piece, it was meant for 86-99 softies but all i did was machine about 1/4" off it to fit my axle and got a smaller castle nut
its got the diamond taillight on it

looks great btw!

RE: Side Mount Plate on FXSTS

Hey New Jersey Guys, have you ever had or known anyone that had problems with a side mount plate, as far as the law gos? I"m planning on a custom rear fender and side mount plate on my 2001 Softail but if I'm gonna get pulled over constantly for it, I might think of another alternative. I'm in Monmouth County but I'm sure all of NJ is about the same as far as those things are concerned. 20NightTrain03, what do you have, the curved axle mount with the diamond LED, thats what I'm thinking about, hows it look?
And ChopperHammer666, it looks sweet!!!!!

RE: Side Mount Plate on FXSTS

I havent heard of anyone having problems with side mounts in NJ. I have friends in Staten Island, NY who have gotten pulled over. Along with the side plate my bike has no rear signals and very short pipes and I haven't been stopped. I believe side mounts are legal only if the plate is horizontal.

havent had any problems with cops pulling me over for anything..........................loud pipes, sidemount plate, no inspection sticker, etc
