Here is a pic of my set-up.

I hacked-up the factory mount that was above the taillight, and had some simple welding done to provide a tab to mount to the saddlebag rails.

 

Think I might end up just getting the detachable tour-pak kit.

I don't have the tools to cut the original license plate bracket like mike_oh and I have been to a few metal fabrication shops around my house. Shop minimum at the first one was $80. not paying that much to cut a $20 bracket.

 

Found a few possible solutions. also thought about getting some sort of novelty plate or something to put in the original location.

Ended up buying the detachable tour-pak rack and mount off kutterharleyonline for $227 shipped with front and rear docking hardware. Figured I could install the hardware and tour-pak and worry about all the wires later using this as a guide: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...etachable.html

 

This is what i have so far.

Did a different license plate bracket and rear fender tip. Also took off the bumper.

 

Those of you that have installed Bullet Rear Turn Signal Bar and License Plate Relocation Kit-53702-04A:

Was it a difficult install?

Is it pretty much plug and play?

Does the rear tire get in the way of taking the parts off and installing the new parts?

 

It's pretty simple to install. I found there was enough room to get to the hardware without the rear tire getting too much in the way. You'll just need a 1/4 drive ratchet and socket to get in there. The hardest thing is to get the plate light connected. I simply didn't do it but you can splice into the tip light wire if you want the plate light, or disconnect the tip light and plug in the plate light. Also, remember to get a tail light lens without the clear window in the top of it or you'll have light coming out the top where your plate use to be mounted.

 

In MN that would get one pulled over....esp if leaving a bar, its a setup for a big headache.

Law requires a tag light on the plate. Unless theres one in your photo one cannot see.

 

LED tag light bolts no problem, lots of nice chrome ones out there. I put one in each lower corner and lights it up fin, no probs with the law
