Default calling all street gliders

hey guys, I am thinking about putting the SG's rear turn signal set up on my RK, I had a few questions though. On the 09 RK, the licence plate is already under tha tail light, my dealer says the SG set up will work. When I bought my bike, The first licence plate frame I bought didn't fit. It was too thick at the top and the tail light and directional bar wouldn't let it line up with the mounting holes for the plate. I hate the unfinished look a plate with no frame gives. I ended up going with the plain chrome HD frame. Any of you able to use a frame for your plates? Also, anyone have their rear signal set up off their bike and interested in parting with it?

Just my opinion, but I don't think the bullet lights from a SG would look right on the RK. The whole thing with the Road King is the vintage look and the newer bullet lights don't provide that.

I disagree with Ultra, I have them and they look great on a RK. Much better then the pancake set up. I have a FLHR standard and not the Classic however.

I have the plain chrome LP frame on my SG. It is snug, but fits without modification. I echo the question about the SG turn signals on the RK, but it is your bike and your tastes. Do what turns you on.

The come in chrome too. I like the ones that don't show the mounting screws.

hawg 08, could you snap a picture of what it looks like up under the bar, specifically your tag light etc.

If I had a classic, I would agree with the vintage argument, but I don't think it is so much the case with the regular RK as it is with the classic. To me the RK isn't so much vintage IMO as it is timeless. That doesn't mean it can't be updated though
