Default Which Laydown License Plate?

So let's hear it--which do you have or would you choose? ...Has anyone removed the three stock nuts from under the fender without a lift? Not a lot of room under there. Pics please, if you have them.

1. Kuryakyn $80



2. Drag Specialties $73



3. Biker's Choice $60

I have the Kury and removed the three bolts without a lift. All it takes is patience.

Thanks Tracker and Sgt. Jim--The Kury is my first choice, but keeping an open mind.

Used the HD version of the Kury on a sportster 883, heritage and fatboy lo - no problems getting to the bolts on any of them. Not a ton of room on the fatboy lo but no need for a lift.

I love my Kuryakyn... easy with a box end wrench, even with my chubby sausages.

I have the Kuryakyn also.....it can easily be installed while the bike is on the ground. Very good looking and well made product.
