Default Removing License Plate bar...help!

Got parts on the way to relocate my tag, and when I'm done I'll need to address the bar that's left. I wanted to remove it completely and get some of those bullet-shaped bar ends that were being sold here by Puzzled...I PM'ed him, but it doesn't look like he's been active lately, and his ads are gone. Anyone know of another solution to clean up those ends ?

Another option is to get one of the cosmetic covers for the holes left by the tag bracket, and leave the bar there. There's one in the HD tag relocation kit, with a script logo on it, but I can't seem to find it being sold separately. Anybody know?

Thanks for any help you guys can provide...

The "Harley Davidson" script piece is PN 53709-04 and attaches using two PN 94600-98 chrome tutton head cap screws. You can go to Zanotti's website and use these part numbers for pricing.

J&P cycles sells a product that has red lenses for lights that bolt up to the holes after the license plate bar/chrome suppport tube is removed.

I bought a take-off Street Glide chrome support tube to replace my EG bar since the SG one has no license plate mounting holes; it's just a clean chrome tube. Any SG that has installed the stealth luggage rack will remove the chrome support tube to install the stealth luggage rack--so the OEM SG bar is available if you look for it.

Sorry, I was a little late posting, First off the harley scripted plate is available, just ask your dealer and he can get it. I beileve it comes in a kit but it can be purchased by it's self. Kinda pricy tho.
Removing the bar is what I did and I ended up cutting it off. You can buy kits in J&P that have lights built into the bracket where you remove your bar completely. Another route is cutting it like me and there are a few different ways to cap the end of the tube. Just be creative. My local parts store sells a package of caps both plastic and chrome together. There isn't a plug that fits perfect but close. I used a little automotive glue and capped it. Later I decided to put some perdys in the end of the cap. I tried little liciense plate skulls but I didn't like the look so I bought some little spikes onff E-bay and drilled a hole in the cap and bolted them in the end. I really like the way it turned out. Here is a pic of the spikes! Also, I got 4 in a set so I drilled out my grips and put the other two in them

They have different end pieces as well depending on the look you want. You can also use marker lights in the threading as it is hollow for the wire.
