Just read your post on relocating the license plate. In my opinion go with the swingarm license plate and it cleans up the rear fender nicely

I ran both. Liked both. They both scraped on aggressive cornering if I was not careful. The fatcat had more power but the fishtails sounded better and had a lot more style. It's a tough choice but with apes, shotgun shock and fat spokes you gotta do the fishtails. They were made for each other.
