My License Plate Mod
I got sick of the license plate underneath the tourpak. So, I relocated the plate using two "P or "Adel" clamps (the diameter of the saddlebag guard tube is 5/8").
Then, I bought a license plate light kit from Dennis Kirk ($19.99), and wired it, through the light bar to the brake light. I had a black leather plate made to fit the exposed license plate bracket underneath the tourpak. When the bike is running, the original license plate light shines right on the silver bar and shield. It looks pretty cool.

RE: My License Plate Mod
Here is another alternative license plate bracket to Fireman's Joes. Check out what creepshow and hogdoc did if you like it under the bag instead of behind it.

RE: My License Plate Mod
Prior to installing the SG facia and turn signal/plate relo kit two years ago, I used a plain chrome license plate frame with the plate and zipped tiedthem to the left side guard rails--no plate light, but never got hassled about it in a year + with it there.

RE: My License Plate Mod
I wish I had more opinions for license plate lighting. There are very few choices. JP offered a nice set, but the lights come in a deep blue....I want a white light. I do not even know if blue lights will be legal. So, I purchased the same type of lights from Dennis Kirk. Once finished, I think this little mod will make things look different from the rear and turn a few heads.

RE: My License Plate Mod
Years ago I did this mod to my FLHS, I used a couple of p clamps and made a bracket, then went to the junk yard and found a license plate light off a BMW (car) I know the pic isnt great but you get the idea...
