The spring loaded pivot point is in the Roto-Plate not in the axel mount.

 

The Heartland license plate has a spring loaded pivot point which allows it to collapse when hit. Are you saying there is also an collapseable pivot point on the Roto-Plate?

 

No, I am just pointing out that the Roto-Plate (I could have worded it better) has a pivot point for a 360 degree turn of the plate assembly. Didn't mean to confuse it with the Heartland collapseable pivot point.

 

Maybe this video will help explain how the Roto-Plate works.

I wonder is Arkansas will allow the vertical licence plates? I looked in the book and it says nothing about it.
Also, what badge would cover all those holes? Does it look ok back there?
Im not good at weldong and I really dont want a cluster of 4 plugs back there.

 

Kuryakyn makes a plate. Someone is running two on their rear fender that doesn't look bad.

I'm pretty sure DragonSlayer08 is running a HD aluminum bar and shield to cover the holes,

I'm running a chrome bar and shield meant for the Ford HD version truck I got off ebay and a button hole plug I got at an Ace Hardware store.

 

Old thread but if anyone is still interested the new Softail Slim has a spring loaded license plate mount. Don't see it on the H-D website yet. At the 1:40 area on the video.

i will have one of these in chrome for sale soon http://heartlandbiker.com/_product_7..._1-2inch_mount

my brother is visiting me in England in April, if anyone is interested in it he can take it home with him to Virginia and post it to you.
Not gonna give it away but will accept a decent offer.

 

sorry should have shown this pic of it..

 

Hogdiver96 love the grips and bars. What are the specs (brand, pullback, height)? I'm 6'4 looking for a good stretched look.
