I relocated my license plate to below the tailight and it looks good. However, The rear tour pak bracket where the plate mounted before looks fugly but supports the rear of the tour pak. Anyone know how to get rid of this and support the trunk??
Really don't want to go to a detatch cause I like my trunk and there are too many wires to deal with. I have a plate from my first HD. 1977 Shovel, Texas plate reads 3RD 747....may put that on for now but wonder how law enfrcement would feel about it. Last licensed in 1986. I live in Cali now.
If you bought the detach kit, you wouldn't have to necessarily detach it. You could leave it on all the time. It will do away with having the plate mount support, but like I said, it's $300+ just to achieve that.

I had the same issue when I moved my plate. I did not want to spend the money on a quick detach since I leave my tour pack on all the time, so I made a custom bracket to replace the stock plate mount. I made the bracket look like it belonged there, painted it black, (my bike is black), and stuck a small Harley emblem on it. I am happy with the results and only cost me an hour or so of my time. Sorry, I don't have a pic and bike is in storage right now.
