Same here. I'm thinking some pretty small black conduit along the bag support rail and duck into the bottom of the fender and up maybe. I know I don't want it to be noticeable.

Plus, a different taillight lens. If I don't have a tag up there I don't want the tag light window shining.

That's the kick in the teeth. I've got the H-D smoked LED taillight that has the window on top for the plate light. I'm hoping that it's a separate light, so that when I put the new wire into the plug, that'll displace the old one.


More than likely, I'll end up using a piece of electrical tape to cover the damn thing.

You can use a stock Street glide lens which has no tag light at all, if you use the plate mount shown. I'm pretty sure i would drag that frame as I do occasionally drag my boards.
I just need to find some really slim LEDs that I can attach to or thru the blinker bar.

With a little modification, I like the way this turned out.

I was wondering about dragging it, but it shouldn't sit any lower than the pipe that was there.

That is stock on a 2010 Road King Standard.

The FLHX set up with the bullet T/S uses LED's or something under the bar to shine on the plate. The '10 FLH set up looks good if you want the huge T/S lens look.

I should have added in my pic, that the Maryland license plate is bigger that the usual motorcycle plate like other states. That's why I said I had to modify the mounting bracket.

Tin snips...

(I think the newly issued plates are finally the smaller size now)

[Thorns]

Yes they are, but the chrome plate holder is the old size....large.

Yes, the new plates are smaller.
