Default RK Classic lay-down plate solution needed

Hi - there doesn't seem to be anything out there that perfectly fits the 2009 RK Classic to lay-down the plate...and the new HD catalogue isn't out yet. The older models have a bar to attach the plate but this year it's the 3 hole fender set-up...has anyone had any success?

I've got the Kuryakyn curved, laydown plate frame on mine. Love it!

I had also been looking at lay-down plate solution for an RKC, but I elected to relocate my license plate instead. It is now mounted underneath the turn signal bar, using the Softbrake relocation kit. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the result. My only issue was due to our Canadian license plates being larger than "standard" size (8"x5" instead of the usual 7"x4"). Although that was nothing a pair of tin-snips couldn't resolve! :-)

Thanks for the tip...Great bars too... are they the HD high bars for the 2009 RKC... (which I'm told do not require any wiring/cabling to be lengthened) ?

Not on a Road King Classic, but my Ultra.

All parts from J&P; bracket and new lens...easy 15 minute install. Don't have the part numbers off hand, but easy to find.

Same here, I really like mine with the solo seat looks great against the plain fender.
