Default Laydown Plate Bracket for Electra Glides?

I bought a HD lay down bracket for my 10 FLHTC. It has the detachable tour pack. I haven't tried it yet, some say it works some say no. Does it work, if not what does? I don't want to move plate, just lay it back.

I don't know if there is a difference between an '06 and a '10 but I used the laydown on my detachable set up.

The the stand up bracket, redrill it so that it lays back and reinstall it.

That's something I may do, looking at it though, I'm not sure if it will give it enough lean.

Anyone tried the kit or redrilling bracket with a 9, 10 or 11 model year?

FYI
Dealers and HD says the laydown bracket won't work on the late model Electra Glides with tour pack but I bought one and works fine. Some say they may say that because it restricts view but it looks good.
