that makes perfect sense, but again i am running the swingarm bag on the left side, and from the looks the kuryakyn one mounts too far forward to allow the bag.. so if i went with that one, it would have to go on the right side.. is the kuryakyn one mountable on the right side, or is it left side only?

 

Jasper I have the Kuryakyn swingarm mount and the leahterworks swingarm bag. It fits just fine. The Road 6 Customs is a good mount as well. I have one in case I want to switch later. If you are going with Road 6 on the the axle then you will have to make the hole bigger, and one of the stock washers will not be used the mount will serve that purpose. Get some LED bolts and you are good to go. Road 6 also makes one that has a taillight mount. Here is a pic of my setup

 

is that the kuryakyn 3180 like the one i posted the pic of? if it does fit with the bag, i might just go that way..

 

these guys are got some good quality stuff, i have one

these guys got some cool stuff too, not to pricey either, make sure if yr just gonna do a plate mount with no break light you still need a license plate light to run at night or you'll get busted

I have the curved axle mount from Road 6, you can't beat it for the price. They are 25% off on ebay right now. Just make sure you order the 1", I got the 3/4" and had to drill it out. Just take off the axle nut and replace the the existing washer with the plate bracket.

I used a dremel tool to trim off the plate bracket from the tail light.

 

got the road6 curved vertical 1" on my axle nut, looks great, will work with swing arm bag. You cant beat the price from their ebay store. I will put up pics later today. defenitly get some led liscence plate bolts. i bought a cheap crome liscence plate frame as well bent it to fit.

been hearing alot of good stuff about road6 these last couple a months

 

i am down to the road 6 customs curved mount, or the kuryakyn 3180 swing arm style.. i would love to see pics of the road 6 curved installed.. thanks for all the info guys..

 

I have the road6 one on the way, he had to build it custom for Canadian plates. Hopefully it'll arrive sometime soon. I'm not looking forward to removing the stock plate holder, but the die grinder/dremmel route seems the only way to go... I've scoured the net looking for a bobtail tail light mount without the plate holder and they don't seem to exist.

I also ordered the road6 16" apes, they are really great folks to deal with and their prices are fantastic.

 

road 6 curved on my street bob. been on there for over 8k miles, and not ever 1 problem! But if you go this route you will have to get a plastic inspection plate it will bend witht he curved one.
