How did you mount the plate vertically? Thanks.

There is a screw that you take off in the middle then you twist the section until its vertical. Literally takes a second, once you look at the holder you will see what i mean.

Damn, those are too cool. You just cost me another 105$ haha.
I'm still trying to decide on what I want for the rear. Killer Custom makes a cover for the swing arm pivot, and I'm thinking about grabbing that as well.

I want a different sissybar too, the short stubby one is not really fitting of that bike's style, and it's rather annoying to get a backpack attached to it since it's so short.

They are of good quality Fran. I haven't had to retighten mine at all since I put them on there. And they look the same as they did back then, though I don't ride in the rain so there's that. I don't think you'll be disappointed though

Yes, I have the one from Custom Dynamics... it was an easy install and no cutting of wires. And it was inexpensive... I think it was $40.

Original Owner replaced the rear lights and the rear reflector with stealth tail lights that flank the license plate holder mounted on the rear fender.

I added the Custom Dynamics Tri-Radius Frame with LED Lights for Run/Brake/Turn and To light up the plate.

A different setup from what Monteman1971 has.

Though the cost of his is much more reasonable. I'm not sure I would have put down the money that the other owner did for the upgrade if it wasn't already on the bike. lol.

I will say Custom Dynamics as a company and manufacturer are great to deal with.
As I have custom plug and play wiring that came with the stealth lights on that tail tidy setup, I needed some help to make sure I wired it right, and they were super patient with me, and helped me through the process so that I got it right the first time round when installing it.
No cutting of wires either.
I would easily buy from them again.

I was looking at this: https://chromeglow.com/products/fat-...vidson?id=2466
The doublerow in smoke lense would look great.
I'd like to run this along with my turn LED bullet signals.
