anyway just my .02

BTW... I am going with a brass side mount with the new fender....

how difficult was it to remove the license plater holder??
i like the looks of it in your pic..
i already have a sidemount plate holder, but have been holding out on cutting the stock setup..

Just make sure they will fit your fender. I think most of them may be made for a 7" fender and I think your Bones has a 9" fender.
Yup, too small. Thanks though

I wonder what it would look like with nothing under the fender like that...

Wow! I didn't look to see how much it was. It's easy when your spending someone elses $$$. I was thinking about going with that one myself but Jesus that's pricey!!
