Default Curved License Bracket

Curious if anyone has installed the curved license bracket from Kuryakn. Past threads say it's a pain in the backside. Love to see some pics out there.

Mine is great.

They revised the plate holder and it appears to be made well now.

Just make sure you use the supplied foam pieces that go between the fender and the back of the plate holder.

Eastern Performance had the best price that I could find.

It's very easy to do. remove the tail light housing and go in through the hole in the fender. It shouldn't take more than 30 mins. max.

I'm on my third Kuryakyn license plate frame. They kept breaking off at the tabs. On the third on I stacked a 4 square inch stack of velcro back to back so it would no longer vibrate and break. And if it should break, hopefully the velcro will hold my plate on.

Shouldn't be any trouble for you. I am very mechanically(sp?) inept and had no trouble at all. Just took my time, had a couple cold beers and it went on easy.

This is my experience, too. It's a worthwhile upgrade, IMO.

I just put this on today. I got it from CycleVisions.com. It's not curved but the shiny black and hidden mounting hardware looks damn good to me. I was little leary of the Kury curved one after reading so much bad pub about them. This one is painted billet aluminum.
