Default Lay down License Plate

Hey out there,

Anybody made or customized a bracket to lay down the plate on an EG?
I've got a couple of ideas and want to see other ideas.
80 degs in Michigan yesterday, unbelievable.

I have an '11 Ultra Limited, I made my tour pack detachable. I bought the lay down bracket for a Streetglide and drilled and tapped the turn signal bracket for 1/4-20 and bolted it on. Use a laydown lens with a lower clear opening and you're good to go.

I used the Laydown 3-hole Frame from a Softail. Just drilled the 3-holes in the fender.

I didn't want to drill any holes in the fender and didn't want the heavy chrome aftermarket piece. Mine is a HD part #, if I recall it's from a Streetglide.

This is a softbrake bracket but it is not the most solid thing out there. I just put it on the other day and just got the J&P lens that has the plate window facining down.
