When I had my Road King, I put on a touring signal bar, and a Radiantz LED plate frame. It lights the plate really well.

Softbrake makes a bracket to hang the plate frame under the light (required slight modification to accommodate the wire for the frame)

Later I took an HD belt buckle, ground down the back and put it on the fender to cover the holes, I thought it looked awesome.

Just redid the back of my 07 Road King. Wanted to get rid of the grab bar and billboard license plate. This is what I came up with. Had some of the chrome powder coated black.

Road Glide light bar. I didn't want the plate below the light. Just me.

I did pretty much the same as Magnut1, an all stock '12 Street Glide fender and singnals. Now I've got to find me some stretched bags!!

Not a RK, but I put a short SG lightbar on my Limited Ultra, and went LED. Looks a lot nicer than that long stock lightbar.

Hi guys, thanks for taking the time to put up the pics, I am liking the SG light bar, looks a lot neater. I also like the idea of the later model rear fender, is that a bolt on job? I have a classic but am also considering getting hard bags and extending the fender. i like the infill on the late fender. Lots to think about now, poor credit card may have to get a bashing again.

Poor mans update, less than $150 in new parts. Softbrake plate relocation, laydown light, short light bar for turn signals setup as run/brake/turn and fender tip light wired as brake only.
