But check ebay, they have a couple on there every once and a while.
Yeah, it seems to me I have seen them for around $10 in the past. I checked before I tampered with mine, too.

Do you know if the "mud flap is expensive? I don't want to move the light but was thinking I want the plate moved. So I was going to cut the plate flap off. But if I change my mind.......how much will HD charge me for a new one?
Don't worry bout it. As long as you take your time you can't possibly end up with anything uglier than the stock setup.

Here's mine, just cut off with sidemount.

Cool. Thanks all. I'll break out the cut-off wheel this week some time.

Hey, NoVa Thunder - what sidemount is that? No lights, right, just the tag mount? Mounts to the rear axle?

I'm looking at the DMV site but having no luck. Anyone know if I have to have an illuminated plate? Do I need white light on it? I'm in CA. I plan on using a side mount plate but without any lights on it - I'll leave the stock taillight in place.

I know a lot of sport bies put their plates up in the wheel-well. They aren't lit up so I assume I don't need that. Want to make sure before I cut this thing.

Here's a link to Dennis Kirk where I ordered the sidemount.

http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/produc...0014#altImages

It is not lit and does mount to the axle nut. It replaces the stock axle adjuster spacer.

There are plenty with lights if you are required to have one by CA law. You can also add a light if you want.

I didn't realize plate mounts were so valuable, errr, expensive.

Do you have bags and does your mount interfere? A lot of the write-ups say they don't work with bags. I'm about 2" lower than stock too.

bensonjv,
I do not have bags, so I'm not sure if it would interfere. If you had smaller bags like 1deuce3 it might work, otherwise I would do something like djohnston. I measured from the center of the axle nut to the top of the tag mount and it is 3.5" ifthat helps you any.
