I really didn't like the plate mount that comes with the hd kit. I tossed around several ideas and decided on a curved led plate and mounted it on the bottom of fender. Other pic shows where I hung it below, but I didn't really like it that way.

 

Did you just remove fender lip light and drill some holes in the fender?Do you have some more pics maybe a lower angle shot? I like my curved led plate mount below with my Custom Dynamics LED fender tip running/brake light.Also the option to flip the lic plate mount over for a billboard position.I like a clean rear fender.Nice job.

Your plate solution MAY get you by in your state maybe but most states including my own require the license plate to have a clear light and be illuminated. That's why I did the layback plate mount on mine. Maybe yours does have some type of illumination, I just didn't see it, so I thought I'd offer another alternative

 

to bry, the plate kit I got was from kuryakyn. It is a curved kit made for Honda vtx with a built in led light along the top. I cut the triangle mount off the back in order for it to lay on the fender. When u take the factory light off there are two mounting holes. I used them to mark the position of plate mount. I put some rubber washer in between and used button head allen bolts with lock nuts on them. The best part is the kit came with the correct plug to plug into the taillight housing.

For gunny, It does have white leds along the top just hard to show in the pic. when I added the detach kit the lights on saddle bag are so bright I didn't mind giving up the running light on the fender and I like the clean look I ended up with.

 

Here is a pic showing the light and how it sits on fender.

 

one more, hope this helps others with relocating the plate. HD did a good job with kit just not with plate sticking up like that.

 

Gunny, what size bars are those? And were they a direct bolt on with no extensions needed on wires or cables? thanks

 

Nice job,I like it.Best part is you can Change it down the road,no damage.

 

Custom Dynamics and a metal plate curved and drilled to use the stock bolts.
Works for me.

 

My handlebars are the Wild One Chubby 578s. 10 inch. I wanted to keep my hands behind the fairing on this build. Brake Line was fine as is, I had to do just a bit of relocating on the clutch line. I used 4" extended NAMZ wires, plug and play. Stock TBW wire is plenty long enough but the other control wiring was stretched to far to reach safely so I put the 4" extensions on, saves a lot of headaches later when you put too much pressure stretching wires. Pretty easy swap.
