Am not too happy with the stock plate holder hanging of my fender. As side mounts seem to attract fines and points I was wondering what others put up or on their fenders. Let's see some pics and ideas.
I have had the US factory side mount on for a year and a half now. Never been pinged for it. All rear mount options are a compromise for me. The clean rear fender look is the neatest to me, but you run the risk with a side mount. TC
I've got a 'lay down' plate holder at the mo coz I don't like the 'bolt upright' look. One day I'll mount the plate beneath the tombstone taillight coz this gives the fender a longer cleaner look so to speak.
The side mount plates will eventually cop a fine - it's just a matter of time before you run into a Copper who knows that rule.
this is mine and its visible by every reasonable angle.
With slightly more clearance than a sidecar... have you any more photos from different angles? I don't mind side mounts but this shot makes it look a bit 'wide load'.
ChopLuey - did you make that tail tidy up or was it a kit? I really like the look of that!! *Edit - sorry saw what you posted. Thanks mate
No swamp butt from riding with mine either mate. I used to ride with some guys on Ducati monsters, and when they did the tail chop on them, and rode in the rain, they would get majorly wet arses and backs. So far the Iron is fine with the stripped rear fender. TC
it has led lights and folds both ways. genuine hd one, looks better in real life
Hey Iron 14, that looks like the latest side mount from the parts and accessories catalogue? I got the one factory fitted to the US models, because it was the only one they sold back in 2010. Out of curiosity, does yours just bolt on, or does it replace the entire side fender piece like mine? Also, how much? Mine was $250 when I got it. TC
