Default Vertical Mount License Plate

New to the sporties and have limited experience with aftermarket license plate frames. I am looking to remove the horizontal license plate and find an aftermarket vertical setup that will attach to the shock. Have any of you done this and if so any suggestions on where to purchase. And the only requirements are that it be mounted in a vertical position and it must be "chrome" or at least look chrome.

Thanks Fellas

Travis

I made my own, but I've seen a bunch on ebay that looked pretty cool.

I made my current one out of my belt guard. I purchased one from road6customs that uses stock harley bullet lights as a brake light, still waiting on it to get here.

No School Choppers for sure, good quality but not very cheap for the shock mount setup. I believe it's around $130 for a chrome version. I just bought the blacked out shock mount setup and it's awesome.
