Drag Specialties has an arched license plate frame.
Comes with backplate and frame.
Drill 3 holes and install.
Put one on my buddies bike...looked pretty good.
Fits snug to the fender.

I happen to have a new one for sale, still in package.
$70 retail...I'd take $45, Shipped
PM me if you want it.

I bought a curved lic. bracket from J&P cycles $60, drilled 3 holes centered on fender below tail light and fits perfect. Took the grab rail off from fender strut and cut off grab bar and filled the holes with chrome covers that I bought from lowes for $1.19 each and now I have a smooth clean uncluttered rear fender.

Buy the license plate mount for a Street Glide. That is your cheapest way.

not necessarily the least expensive, but at least you don't have to drill any holes in your fender.....

Get a Street Glide turn signal assembly from craigslist, ebay, or any one of the 20% off stealers...

Pull the old signal bar, and replace it with the FLHX one.

I took it a step further, and added the FLHX fascia to my road glide. (As well as the kury curved plate mount for the SG, and a grab bar eliminator to get rid of the "halo bar.)

It makes ALL the difference in the world.

Check out this thread fro IdaSpud. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...e-bracket.html I installed the bracket works great if your not running duals. I am close to being done with my winter mod's, will post up when I'm done.
