Default Need help with tag relocation

You guys with ultras. I've got a 2016 cvo road glide and want to get the tag under the taillight. I hate the one that comes in the hd kit. No drilling and no painting. If you have any suggestions would help. Need photos and where to buy would help. Thanks

some of us use the roadking signal bar.

requires a splice for the plate light into the fender tip or tailight circuit.

mine's older than yours, but I just put double sided sticky tape, and formed it around the finder. It's been over 100mph, and we,t and is still firmly attached

I'm looking for either a bottom window tail light or a fender light with a top window just to stay legal

I went with the Road King light bar. I'm waiting for a tail light without the top window to be delivered.
I forgot to mention I replaced the bulb with an LED. Much brighter than stock bulb.

Default tag relocation

I have a 2014 FLHP. When I removed the rack behind the tractor seat, I lost my plate location.
I decided I didn't like the plate being above the tail light anyway, so I used the saddlebag brackets and some metal strapping material to hang the plate below the rear fender. It looks 'clean' and customized.
To light the plate I found some LED 'bolts' to do the job. I'm real happy with it.

Try kuryakyn. I did the curved mount on a 2013 RG. They should have a kit for your bike..

I used a piece a cardboard to make a pattern to go up around the taillight to the turn signal bar mounting holes. Transfered that to a piece of stainless sheet metal I had laying around and cut it out. I bent that and the plate to the curve of the fender and bolted it behind the signal bar. I used a couple stainless bolts coming from the back with acorn nuts to hold the plate. For the plate light, I got an led stip from Autozone cut it and tucked it up behind the signal bar. I also got a street glide tail light lens without the plate window to finish it off. It was a cheap relocation and you don't see any of it.
