    I appologise up front I'm new to this whole bike thing so I don't know where to look or how much to spend.

    Where do I get these Layback number plate mounts to suit a 08 Fatboy (and I don't want to drill the guard) I've seen them on a few bikes and they look the part, I can't cop the billboard look on the back of my bike.

    p.s Are these illegal in NSW 

    thank you in advance

    cheers

    I use what your saying, zodiac rear slant mount comes with 2 peices of rubber etc for diff angles. Then a Genuine Harley numberplate surround looks the goods, still end up costing ya over a Hundred for it all.. But thats HD Hundreds Dollars lol

    I didnt have to trim my plate and IM in vic, just had to realign 2 holes i think it was.

    Thanks fellas, just ordered a kit from the ebay link that kingchops posted and I got the one with a chrome plate frame as WozzA suggested. Thanks for the legalities advice Frank7214 I suppose it will match the other illegal things on the bike that are suppose to kill people like my exhaust, smoked blinkers & hiflo airfilter

    thanks again
