As mentioned above, Figure Machine has a really nice side mount. Here is their lit version. The mounting bracket is machined so that the wire for the LEDs is concealed. Outstanding! They have a unit without lights, too, as well as a slew of other cool parts.

I used the stock location and did this>



Gonna pick up some black allen heads or black acorn nuts. Vertical plates are legal in Florida.

It was not hard to wire. It comes with an LED light with attached wiring. I had to drill a small hole in the groove of the backplate for the wire to exit. It runs down a channel in the bracket. I then ran it along the back side of the swingarm and up into the battery box area. I used zip ties to secure the wiring and you can barely see it.

I simply shortened the stock plate mount and turned the plate so that it would mount vertically.

It wasn't even a five minute mod.
