Side Mount License Plate
Wondering if anybody can point me to who makes a good side mount plate bracket?
I see several chrome versions from Arlen Ness, etc. But I'm looking for something in black or crinkle to match my train...

Look at the one's Kuryakyn has, I just put on on my deuce without the brake light. They make some products for HD and they look good. Maybe try Dennis Kirk.com

I used the Kuryakyn side mount.

You can scuff the chrome and paint it with wrinkle black spray paint.

I found these on EBAY. I'm waiting on doing the hogpro rear fender so I can move the tail light & license plate at the same time

I was in the same boat. I didn't want a chrome mount, and I also didn't want to spend big $$. I ended up making a side-mount for mine. Cost me only for the chrome hardware, as I had the steel in the garage. It took me about 1/2 hour or so to make the thing. Currently there is no light, but I'm looking at ways to deal with that. It's been there for 3-4 months now, and so far, no trouble with John Law.
For the original 'billboard' under the taillight, I simply cut it, leaving a small lip under the plate to keep some spray out of the bottom of the light. Looks very custom, cost almost nothing- That's my kind of modification!

I need to keep it for the rack I already put on.
So if you don't mind some questions, first of all is it a LED?
If it is, is it better/brighter than the origail 1157 bulb, and are you satisfied with it?
If you are who made it, how much, and where did you get it?
Thanks [sm=hail.gif]
