I'm sure he'd make one without the studs for you......... I agree chrome is "useless" but you're the one said they were looking for chrome

I got mine from hogrida too and I love it...brackets should not be seen.. I did have to put a couple rubber washers on the posts to keep it off my paint, but no biggie ..I am happy with the result...

+1 on the chrome is useless, it's just more you have to scuff up for powder coat anyway..

Mine came from J&p cycle, it is not slotted, but is curved and I like the way it flows with the fender.

I meant chroming of the Hogrida bracket is useless as its unseen when the plate is mounted. I like chrome and am not looking to black out my bike as its already pretty dark now. So the options that a few guys have posted have really helped. I appreciate the help locating a suitable bracket. I like chrome bits here and there as the whole blacked out bike thing isnt for me. Not that I dont like the look, its just not for me.

The band on my battery box and my A/C Cover are ALL Krylon ... once in a while I'll get up enough loot to powdercoat some parts..


P.S. VANCOUVER ROCKS !!!!

As does Whistler-Blackcomb ... you don't board by any chance do you ... ?

I checked your album and from what I can see that looks like it will work for me, I was unable to locate on the Drag Specialties Site. Any chance you have the part number from an old reciept or something? I can call them as well. Regardless I appreciate the info and will try and go that route as its a good 40 bux cheaper than all the others. Let me know on that part number if you do or do not have it. Thanks again.

Got the easy brakets kit and had it powder coated black, also relocates the signals and I think looks pretty good too.

Sorry, I dont have the part number. I got it as one of my my first mods in 08, i hated the stand up plate. I know it was drag specailties and it was call the don hot top lay down 3 hole holder. I tried searching online to find and had no luck. I would contact them, they could help you more
