Ugly ultra 2008 license bracket. Help please!!
I am putting on a new custom fender on my Ultra classic and the tag will be on the lower fender. Has anyone a suggestion on what to do with the old ugly license bracket that holds up the tour pak. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion on what I can do to remove or modify the bracket so it looks better.
Thank you for your input.

There are lots of options to fit every budget. Arlen Ness, Kuryakyn, and many others have all in one units. Softbrake makes a very inexpensive plate frame. I used the Softbrake frame, Stock Street Glide signal bar, and kept my stock tail light. It was about $250 for the signal bar & plate frame.

Auto Gem shotgun light are your best option...you remove the bar and install these and relocate the plate.

here is an example of the ugly license bracket that I would love to modify or remove with something else to hold up the tour pak.

i've thought about moving my down below the light also. i'll probably end up using stainless steel tubeing bent to the shape of the 4 mounting holes. kinda like an upsidedown piramid with the point missing. probably tig some studs on, so the rear looks clean, and buff to a chrome like luster. other option would be a piece of 1/4" aluminum plate that makes the 4 mount holes but hollow out the center section so your left with a hollow piramid.i think you get the idea. does somebody allready make such a thing?....i dont know...steve

HD has, since '09, used 4 bolts to secure the TP albeit on a new frame and different bolt spacing.
If I was determined to get rid of the bracket I'd buy better hardware to replace the HD stuff.
Or I'd use the Milwaukee Bagger detachable or HD detachable mont that does't use the bracket.
