Side license plate
i am wanting to change my license plate over so a side license plate mount. i was wondering what you guys are running and if you have any pics? i am not wanting to spend a ton. wondering about buying or tring to make something. and also thinking about axle mount or somewhere else.
What Chuck said, tied into running lights. Ran the wire along the backside of the swingarm, up under the seat, tied to the blue? wire I think, or purple? maybe? I can't remember, gettin old.
I made mine from a old chrome one bolted it to a thin axle mount black one..bought it on ebay..my state you have to mount it vertical ...check road 6 customs..or ebay the wiring is easy,i have mine wired to my led;s with a switch so it i want to shut off the plate light in a hurry lol

Had a buddy who knows how to weld make my axle-mount. Simple but it does the job. I had him use a thick enough gauge to replace that 3mm spacer on the left side. You can buy something similar on eBay for like $30. There are some plate mounting bolts that have LEDs in them to light your plate, as well, for like $10/pr. I wanna get some of those, too, but have yet to pull the trigger.

Yeah I was thinking about making my own or buying one of the $30 one off of eBay and then having it chromed, but most of the chrome places I have called have a $60 min or so. So I am thinking it might be cheaper to just buy a Kuryakyn one other than the make you buy the swing arm mount sepertly for an extra $35 or so.

Is there a side mount that can use the existing brackets for the belt cover. I removed my belt cover and was gonna shave the mounts off the frame but thought they would work great for a side mount. Before I try to make one is there a aftermarket one that already bolts up?
