Frustrating Morning
Just a bit of venting, but should it really take an hour and a half to install a license plate in a after-market frame? For $70, you think they could engineer the frame to actually accept the plate and have screws long enough to go through the frame with the license plate installed. I had to cut and trim the plate and manipulate the curve of the frame along with some filing.
Don't want to mention the brand, but its obvious that these after-market chrome parts are manufactured overseas for very cheap money and sold at a huge mark up. I know you get what you pay for, but $70 aint cheap for a few oz piece of chrome.

If your speaking about the curved "K" brand plate frame, I had to modify both my NJ and now my SC plates to fit. Didn't take much effort and once they were trimmed, they bent nicely into the contour of the frame and the screws (yes, they could be a little longer) screwed into the backing plate. USE BLUE LOCTITE ON THEM!!!!!!!

I have one of the "K" brand curved plates (looks exactly like the HD one) - it fit my FL license plate perfectly. The problem is the inconsistency of state plate sizes. I have the same problem with vehicle plate frames, have to cut them down to fit.

I also have the kuryakyn frame(no sense in hiding their name we all know they suck) the plating around every hole is peeling, it came on the bike so I can't really complain, their 400 drl/blinker combo is just as shitty. The blinker caps fell off while riding but luckily they gave me some for free in 2012 at a rally.. The chrome is just like the plate frame.. Looks like it was dipped with sand, no amount of Polish will make them look good, again on the bike when I got it but they are a bit more noticeable than the plate frame
