Default License plate relocation?

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/membe...ml?ref=ccm-img

On that bike, what kit would I get to do that, would that include having to relocate the lights as well?

Thanks!

Oh, and is there any undermount mirrors? I've been looking at the tribal mirrors or something similar, but they are overmount it looks like.

Can't help you with the turn signals, but you don't buy "undermount" mirrors. You just flip the current ones through the same holes.

Looks like one of the many side mount plated available. road6customs has a few like that.

Not sure why you think you'd have to relocate the lights...?

It could be. I've seen the stock one modified (bent cut and drilled) and it looked similar.

Pretty much any bracket will work. I went with the curved one and rerouted the wiring from the flip out plate and wired in 2 LED bolts to light it up and stay legal.

Yep...its all one piece. Side note; if you remove the side flip out plate hang on to it to try and resell. HD sells those same brackets for like $180. I threw mine in the trash before I knew it was worth some beer money. Taking of the side reflectors/plate bracket is pretty easy though. If you need a little walk through let me know.

That is amazing, is it legal to go without the light on the license plate?
I primarily ride at night, so that is why I am wondering.
Thanks!
