Rear fender mod question
I have a 2010 1200 Custom and am thinking about side mounting the license plate, removing the brake light and filling in the holes for a smooth fender. I'm wondering if anyone has done this or knows anyone who's done this that might have pics of what it would look like? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

I've done the holes, but not the brakelight. I bought some carriage bolts, put them through the inside, welded them on, cut off the threads, smoothed it with filler. Easy job. Sorry no pics.

If you are not using a HD sidemount you can have the emblem from my kit as i dont need it and your only a few miles from me

Another option..
Hey Boots,
I took another route. I filled the license plate bracket holes and welded a couple of short bolts to the inside of the fender on either side of the rectangular tail light hole to hold a light I fabricated. I found an old tail light (off a minivan) and cut it to size and made a flush mount light (running and brake). It's all secured from inside the fender.
