Default License plate relocation

I have a 09 Road King Classic with the plate above the light.

Does anyone have any good ideas on relocating it along with some pics?

I was thinking maybe sideways on one of the bags????

Would it be to clustered below light???

I really don't care for the looks of it now.

Would look better either below the light or on the left bag. I would go with below the light, I don't think it would be too cluttered. The hard part is finding the right brackets for it. Still looking for how to do this with my 14 UL. I may have to fab the part myself.

This is what I did with my Road King using the Softbrake relo bracket.

I combined it with a Radiantz LED licence plate bracket.

Below that is a suggestion of what to do to cover the holes you leave behind: Belt buckle!

Yeah that looks very nice but I want a curved look instead of a flat plate. I think that light is a great idea also.. The belt buckle trick is pretty sweet but I already have some chrome spikes like the ones I used on my bar holes and dimples that I may use first to see if I like it. Great ideas you got there....
