Removing License Plate frame FXDL - WTF?
So I want to install the Kuryakyn lay back license plate frame. I went to remove the existing bracket. I have no clue how to get the 3 phillip heads out. The bracket is blocking access.
I checked the service manual and I can't find anything for the bracket. Can anyone shed some light?

I took one off my in laws Fxdb not sure if it's the same brand, but looked identical. I took a long screwdriver and gently pulled the rear back a little and I was able to take it off. At work I often use a 1/4 inch socket and just put a Phillips bit in it. Another favorite of mine, but cheap craftsman screwdrivers, heat them with a torch, then bend them to where you need them. So far I have about 9 craftsman "special tools".

So I stopped being lazy and jacked it up. There were loose nuts so I just cranked those out.
Funny thing is, if I had to put it back on, I still wouldn't have something to hold the phillip heads as I crank it back. Being a mechanical idiot though, these were locking nuts so maybe that prevents the philip head bolts from spinning as you crank them back in.
Thanks all for the replies.
