08slvr, please share your solution with us. I’m getting a Sport Glide next week and want to bring the license plate closer to the fender, like on your picture.
Sure thing, I’ll take the fender off tomorrow to get better more detailed pictures.

I love the seat but I also didn’t have problems with the stock seat. I feel it does have more of a curve on the back part and slightly more cushion, so it may help you with your issue.

So what I did was cut a piece of angle aluminum and attached it with nut and bolts to the pre existing bracket that comes factory on the slim rear fender. Then using flat aluminum pieces I made a bracket to attach to the angle aluminum. Just had to bend one piece of aluminum to the curvature of the fender. I also removed the stock plate light from the factory plate holder and installed it between the curved aluminum and fender using double sided tape. I spray painted it black but after a year and half it’s chipped off. Not the pretiest but u don’t even see it when plate is installed.

Just to be clear... you have a pre-17 Slim, not an 18+, which this thread is about... Not knocking your ingenuity, but your mod will not work on 18+ bikes because that metal sub assembly is not present in the 18+ bikes... its just bare fender up in there, so in essence, nothing to attach your bracket to. The only thing present on the 18+ bikes is backing plates for the fender struts.
