I started making a new license plate mount this weekend and want to see some others before I get this powder coated.

I cut a piece of 3 inch pipe to fit my plate, cut a mounting bracket to attach to the inside of the lower shock and then welded it together. Only things left are to weld a 1/4 inch spacer to the bracket and get it powdered.

 

It looks like that wraps around the shock, yea? Would love to do something like that with mine but I'm surprised I haven't gotten pulled over for the way my plate sits already (have it vertical rather than horizontal on both bikes). It's now illegal in CA and while I haven't been pulled over for it yet my friend has...twice. I keep telling her it's only because you're a hot woman on a motorcycle and the cops are looking to get your phone number. LOL

 

It will wrap around the right shock (I have a solo bag on the left). Tennessee just changed the laws last year so I can mount it vertical

 

IL they will flip out for that style of a plate
i use to run a vertical side mount and got sick and tired of getting pulled over for it... now i run it off the tail end of my fender

 

JRK - I thought I remembered seeing a post where you made a kick down side mount plate a few years ago. It looks clean where it is now.

 

Beautifull bike man. Nice job.

 

made from SS and polished to look like chrome

 

thats a bad *** bike....2 questions...

1) who makes that license plate tail light??

2) would this happen 2 fit on a 2012 street bob

 

I got the mount from Doc v twin... i just spent 15 min trying to find one for you as they are no longer made but you still may want to contact Drew at Doc V twin, i was able to find one for snoopy when i got him my old fender... but i was not able to find one. i do not see how that would work on the bobbed rear fender with out some mods however

 

That is a good looking tail light. Who makes it?
