Default Whats a good Lisence plate side mount kit?

Looking to relocate my plate to the side of my 2012 Fatboy Lo to clean up the rear fender! Whats the best kit at a good price for that? I was going to go with the Lorida plate but i still dont think that will give me the look im looking for! So i want to mount it on the side of the bike instead..

Road6 customs makes quality affordable mounts. They have a few different styles too. I know a few guys running them and they have no complaints at all.

Do you guys have plate lights on yours? If so, how are you running the wires?

I want to get one for my Deuce, but I don't want wires running everywhere.

It's all about how much you have to spend as to what you end up with.
I like alloy arts but they are pricey.

I have one from Jireh cycles with the plate light. Not too expensive. It's worked great for 4 years...

Ran the wire up the swingarm and used tie wraps.

I bought a cheap one exactly the same as this from ebay:

I put it on my dyna and removed my stock tail light and it was great. I ran it for two years before selling the dyna and there was no chrome peeling or anything. Very happy with it, especially for the price.

Looked at a bunch for my Lo and finally found what I wanted in the HD Slim License Plate. Lucked out and found a take-off and was able to put it on my bike at a low price.

This pic is before I put the coin in the holder I used to cover the holes in the fender.


Here is the holder with the coin in place.

Hope that this helps
