Has anyone come up with a DIY way to lay the license plate back on a 08 RK>

Thanks.

 

nope - the dealer has some pretty inexpensive kits - $20?. if you have access to a brake you could bend the stock plate holder but then you'd have a gap between the bottom of the bracket and the license plate.

 

Just the kit from the dealer or kuriakyn

 

The last time I looked at the dealer, there was only one license plat frame to pick form for the 08 SG. []

 

Let's see a picture of what it looks like and mounts, may be able to come up with something....

 

Here is one I put on my 08 RKC.

Sounds like the stock '08 RK plate mounts differently than the earlier models?

If not, you can elongate the mounting holes towards the top about 3/8". Thin out the heads of the mounting bolts on your bench grinder and roll the plate back.

Check out the DIY thread at the top of the touring forum. It is in there along with pics of mine.

If it's different, scratch what I said.

Haulen *** is an official site sponsor now, and they make a great line up of lay back american made license plate mounts for almost every style Harley.

I have one on my scoot and love it!

 

HD Part number 60210-07

I have an 08 FLHRC and it worked just like all the earlier models 1999 and up.

OR

You can try something like this from KURYAKYN : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lay-D...spagenameZWDVW

I want to do this mod too. And, I know how to get it done, I just haven't made a trip to Home Depot yet.

All that is needed are thick nylon washers (or metal) that are beveled/angled on one side (say about 45% or whatever). One of these on each side of the plate (like a sandwich with the plate in between) will automatically angle the plate. The thickness of the washers may require longer bolts.

If I ever get a "round-2-it" I'll snap pics and post in the DIY section.[8D]
