Looks like Yaffe's Stealth 3 is the only game in town, that I can find ?
Concern I have is displaying the Plate sticker & staying legal here in Illinois
Any other choices out there ??

The Stealth III is the cleanest looking frame for the CVO. I have used on on four bikes now. I am try to place the stickers so they can still be read. I have yet to have an issue and I ride all over the country.

Kuryakyn makes a couple of options in chrome that include a square curved plate. I e-mailed them and they have no plan to make it in black which sucks. I've been thinking about getting it and powder coating it black myself.
I don't like the oval, besides the fact it covers the sticker which is illegal in most states. Even those who claim it hasn't been an issue just need to know it is enough reason to stop someone which I prefer to avoid adding reasons to stop me :orange:

I got the kuryakin and had it painted black and love it. For my 2015 SESG. I don't have a pic but i also didn't like the round face of the jaffee.

My SESG

The 12 SERK before I traded it

My SERK, I know its not black but the same frame. Decals are visible. I have been coast to coast with these frames, many bike rally's and never and issue. This is the only one that shows clearly you can read the tag number on the decal which is a requirement in TN. On all four bikes I have used this frame I make sure the decals are positioned so it can be read.

Thanks Dave, looks great
How was the install? I've heard they're a b**ch

Black Yaffee frame that my painter did a accent on when doing my heat deflectors to match. Lost pic, sorry

They can be a pain. Helps if your hands are not real big. Stock unbolts on the back side of fender between it and the tire. Then you have to carefully drill out the threaded holes in fender bracket. Instructions say to remove it then drill it. I just leave it in place and carefully drill it. The hard part is the two bolts that go through fender from back. You have to get them started in the plate frame with out scratching the fender. I hold the frame up to fender to see where it sits. I remove the frame and then put blue painters tape on the fender loosely where the frame edges could contact fender. Once both bolts are started I remove the tape before tightening.

I've been around several IL State Police with my bike. Not a single one has mentioned a problem with the bottom corner of my sticker being covered. All letters and expiration year are visible. Just like the pictures posted. My bars are "above shoulder height" & exhaust isn't stock, which are "illegal" in WI anyways. Not get caught driving like a raped-ape, and you won't have a problem. :2vrolijk_21:

I recently bought one of these and have it assembled and ready to go on. Purchased at http://directcycleparts.com/, they discount everything, bought my V&H exhaust and fp3 there. I painted the rear black as someone commented that the screw heads reflect, so they took it off and painted the back black. Big snow here last night and cold is moving in so I will put it on in a few days. My brothers here in Maryland say no problem having your stickers clipped off by the frame, so I'm gonna give it a shot. No instruction in the box or on the Yafee site, so I found some here:https://www.denniskirk.com/dk/pdf/instructions/21/dk216151.pdf

That's the same instructions that came with mine however the handwritten wiring diagram is wrong. Mine came with a Blue wire+ and a black wire-. My instructions said that if the frame did not light when plugged in, pop the orange retainer out of the connector and swap the wires to reverse polarity and then try. I didn't have to do this because mine did light up but others have posted that they did have to swap the wires...
I felt the install was fairly easy. For me carefully trimming my plate to fit and buffing the area around the old tail light took the longest...
Some folks mentioned that their LEDs failed over time. I think that was for an old design. Mine has 12 square LEDs mounted on a crescent shaped PCB that is 3m taped into position. Just to be safe, I took some clear RTV Silicone and completely encased the PCB - I thought this might keep water from getting to it and maybe make it last longer...
Works good.
