Default Relocating Road king license plate

Hi All

I did a search but didn't find what I needed. I just picked up a 09 RKC and I would like to relocate the license under the tail light. Has anyone developed a bracket that doesn't require drilling?

Thanks for any help.

They are re-doing their web site, but call the folks at http://www.softbrake.com

When I had a Road King I ditched the hideous lollipop turn signals and got the touring light bar from HD and used a Softbrake Relo bracket with a Radiantz LED plate

2009 and 2010 are the same.

That reminds me, for those who have move the license, how did you cover the bolt holes of the stock location?

Two words: Belt Buckle. I just took a grinder and ground the parts off the back and used 3M double stick tape to adhere. The great thing about that buckle (other than I liked it a lot) is that the curve of the buckle was perfect for the fender.

FTW!!

Sad thing is they dont make that buckle any more.

Oh I see it's a RKC - the regular RK has the plate below the light.

Whoops, my mistake. I didnt realize the tag location was different between the RK and RKC.

Thanks Keithhu, I will check into it. I also have been considering the 09 SG tail light.

The belt buckle is a great idea.

Just what I was looking for, thanks guys.

I would have gone with the plastic hole plugs but that buckle looks way cooler!

2010 FLHR signal bar and plate mount on 2009 FLHTC




uses same 2 bolts, you can reach an arm up in there- takes 5 minutes to swap.

if you want plate light and fender tip light ( as above) requires a wire splice.
