Nightster License Plate
I looked thru 5 pages of 'Search' with no luck. so...
My gf HATES that side-mounted, flip-outlicense plate bracket on her Nighty. If you remove it, you also remove the side reflector (no big deal), but you also leave a 'hole'. Not a bolt hole, but a 6 inch long, curved hole where a plastic 'inset' was. It *might* look kinda cool, but it also might not.
My initial thot was to weld a flat, paintedplate on the inside of the fender. It'll look pretty much like it looks now. Gotta do both side so it'll match.
Anybody deal with this yet?

RE: Nightster License Plate
Well I just did mine last night. Just a few bolts, took the whole fender off so I could cut the pop rivets out. I'll take a few pics with it having the gap if you like. I didn't like that swing out license plate like that. Going with a curved license plate setup that just uses the shock bolt and some led bolts to light it up. Give me a little i'll post em
