Default Laydown License Plate Bracket

Has anyone bought one of these off of Ebay ?? There are a few listed that are not HD OEM parts and was wondering about the craftsmanship.

If you purchased one on ebay and you're happy with the finish, please furnish me with the seller if you have it handy.

Thanks,

R

Purchased one a long time ago from Al's Cycle Parts on Ebay. Been very happy with it.

take your stock vertical bracket off. you will notice a ring around the hole for the mounting bolts. drill a hole the same size as the mounting hole in the line of the ring directly above the old hole. bolt back on an voila, you have a laydown license plate for nothing.

Thank you Branded! I like how it's lower than the HD Laydown one. The HD one also rubs against my tourpak mount bracket. I was looking to replace it with something else.

I have the H-D layback license plate bracket on my Road King Police....never looked at the after-market ones though. Either is a huge improvement to the straight-up factory one.
