My plate is mounted on the rear of the fender in the factory mount, but I have seen people mount them parallel with the swingarm.

Thanks, You won't be sorry. It is really well made. They have a coupla different models. One with the taillight and one with only the plate light. But, man these things are made to last. They ae just a little pricey, but you get what ya pay for, I'm happy.
