Default Moved License Plate

Relocated license plate below tail light today and found that the original tail light lens did not have the clear window on top. Guess I'm lucky I never got stopped for not have a license plate light. Dealer said it's not uncommon for them to get bikes in with wrong parts on them. Got a 6" LED light bar shinning on it now.

Used a Lazer Star LSM100 mount that goes behind the turn signal bar. Mounted a 6" Radianzt License plate light 8200-52 above the plate at the top of the mount. I was going to use a RK tail light lens without the window in the top but didnt need it. Only took about 2 hours to install.

I was looking at that but afraid the turn signal bar would block the light.

...or the Road King signal bar bolts right up and has the led built in- that's the little bump in the center

it is also a couple of inches narrower than the ultra version



pretty much 2 bolts plug and play- if you have a fender tip light like me, you'll need to do a little splice or marry 2 wires to 1 pin

easy- and a take off should be pretty cheep, Road King guys sometimes take them off to swap for an SG or other style

- I think I paid about $75 shipped with the lens

The RK mount was my 1st choice. Couldnt find a one for a good price. Dealer wanted 250.00 for the set up. The Lazer Star was only 60 and it cleared the fender light.

It does block a lot of the light, but I rode 1 season without getting stopped.
I bought a used setup of a Roadking just haven't put it on yet.
