Default License plate relocation on Electra glide

Anyone not using the quick detach for the tour pack? Where and how did you relocate your plate?

I'm only going to use the tour pack like 1 time a year, if that, so I really cant justify spending $500 on the whole quick detach set up.

HD makes a laydown bracket. I think it's different on my 02 but I'm sure it's available for your bike. Search for laydown license plate kit, should get tone of hits.

I went simple and just bolted it to the fender. All you have to do is remove the rear bumper and line it up over the void, mark, and drill some holes. Super easy and it was FREE. I never use a tour pak so I took a 4 inch angle grinder to the hoop. Next plan is to fill it with epoxy, drill and tap a a hole, and put a spike bolt on to clean it up.

yes here on the forum classifieds- about $80 incl the solid red lens

2 bolts, you can reach up behind the fender with bike on the floor.

for the led plate lights ( in the round bump), I married into the connector for the tip light.
