I'm sure you could use any standard 3 hole plate mount and mark and drill carefully. and just replace the stock taillight with one that has the plate light window underneath.

I heard in MA we can not have the license plate lower than the lights on the back of the bike. Not sure if that is accurate or not but you might have issues with inspection.

The license plate on a stock Deuce is lower then the stop and taillights!
