NEED PLATE LOCATION IDEAS... HELP!
I'm having my tins painted next week and I need to re-locate my license plate. I currently have a side mount with a totally smooth rear fender but I'm adding detachable bags which won't work with the side plate. I'm thinking of either a recessed "frenched" plate in the lower part of the fender or fabricating something that will mount the plate below the fender. I have a mig welder but I'm not that good. I need to decide and fab this ASAP. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I vote for the frenched in idea, seen some of those and they look great with the long rear like yours. Very Clean.

Thanks. Does anyone know of a company that makes a pre-fabbed bucket and matching frame other than Yaffe?

Thought I saw a radiused plate bracket that laid down flush to the fender.. might be easier than frenching, but I agree.. Frenched would look great if you have a good body-man doing the job.

Look @ the "eliminator", It can be frenched in and works well.

I have a guy at work that had his fender re-done with it sunken into it. Looks great, may cost a little more but worth it.
