Has anyone done anything creative with the license plate bracket. It looks kinda like a little sign standing up there like that.

Mine has sequential LED's in it.  Expensive but nice quality.

I had designed and fabricated a bracket with a new led light that hung under the bike, just back far enough that it was hidden but not to far the police had a problem with it. Then decided to get a trailer and a hitch so back to the old POS licence plate bracket. When I get enough time away from work I am going to fab up a whole new bracket

One thing I noticed is that there are only two drilled holes in the stock backing plate. Many faceplates need four bolts which means you'd need to drill some extra holes. That's what I did - not a big deal.

I guess I was looking for a laid back style. I know that wouldn't work for those of you with a trunk.

I put the Ness License plate on mine, looks great but someone says he now makes a lay down one. I haven't found it on any sites but I suppose if you called Ness they could tell you for sure. A little pricy but they look real nice.

Arlen Ness had a one off lay down plate on his Vision last year in Daytona. Was supposed to go in to production but I don't think it ever did.
I have the stand up one on my bike, like it a lot.

I went with a Kuryakyn 9198 set up. It bolted directly on an looks great... It leans the plate back a little - not a lot. But looks clean with the truck on or off. Also the curve flows with the lines of the bike...

I made my own, and sunk a scrolling L.E.D. sign into it.

Jeff.
That is exactly what I am looking for. Being as I don't own a single tool you used in your fabrication, this is going to be a challenge.
I have the LED tag frame on my Rune and it works very well. So it looks like I need to order a black one and get to work.

If you send me a factory mounting bracket I can make one of these for you. I couldn't find one either and enjoy making stuff like this, shoot me an email at JSkwarek@GMail.com if you are intrested.

I designed mine to sit lower right above the factory plate light and use a frame that has a light so that I can take the trunk on and off without having to remove the plate I think it follows the lines of the bike better and it cuts way down on the hassle factor.

I just uplugged the factory light then tapped into the wires for the factory light to light up the frame (Make Since???)
