Title: HD Black curved license plate kit
Post by: oe542bob on April 17, 2019, 07:26:38 PM: I mounted kit 6700058 on my ‘19 FLHXSE. First I cut the sides off of the stock oem base. Then I drilled 2 holes in the new backing plate. Used 2 bolts through the plate and base. Made a backing plate from some aluminum, put NyLok nuts on.
Original idea was to just bolt it directly onto the original base, but it kinda stuck up too much and would have partially block the light on the license plate.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to come off as too critical. Changing the screws to black would be a simple and cheap improvement for now. Still looks good.

It’s a CVO, treat it as such and stick w the CVO Kuryakyn or Yaffe frames painted to match.

I have a Yaffe. Don’t like the oval cutout. It was on my ‘17 FLHXSE in chrome. So that was an issue with the ‘19. Thought about having it painted to match, but I’m just not a fan of the opening for the plate.
And I have black bolts now, next time I won’t post a pic until I’m done!
