Just found out last night HD does make the side mount in black http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

A buddy has it on his 08 SB it looks pretty good

 

I just made mine. it's not at all the work of a pro but it's been doing fine for the last 10 months

 

Now that I see the black version of the Harley side mount, I could have gone with it, but kind of expensive at $184. (Still paying extra for the HD medallion to cover up holes in the fender. My fender doesn't have those holes.)

I couldn't wait any longer and jumped the gun. I mail ordered a Radiantz black frame with LED license plate lights for about $30 plus $9 for shipping. I plan to fabricate a plate holder bracket from stainless steel and mount it to the rear axle bolt. If that doesn't work, Road 6 Customs has a $27 side mount bracket that is black powder coated that should work perfect.

 

I have a new side mount plate as show at the start of this post. Sell it for $125.00 shipped in the US. PM me
