I opted for the Cycle Visions cv4808c tag mount/tail light combo,,totally hides the oem tail light hole, mounts thru the turn signal bar mounting holes and is led..because I went detachable on my 2013 FLHTK.

Thank you for your input.
Are you talking about the bracket that is left when you remove the tourpak on your bike? I think on the pre-2009 Electra Glides that bracket has to be cut off in order to be removed. I have a 2007 UC and did not see a way to simply unbolt it. I think the newer models that bracket is configured differently and is easier to remove. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

I opted to leave the license bracket on my bike and use the Haulen *** license tag bracket for my license plate.

On my 2013 Limited, the tag mount is one piece to the oem tourpack rack, hence the changing over the taillight/tag mount to the CycleVision unit and then I installed the detachable tourpack rack..

Cut mine off with an air cut-off tool, but I know not everyone is willing to do that.

Default If it is removed, something has to take its place to hold up the tour rack.

If I remove the tag bracket, I will need to put something else in its place. It holds up the tour bracket.
Thanks
