License plate frame mods?
« on: April 22, 2016, 12:32:40 PM »

Any good direct replacements thats practically plug and play?  I would like a curve that matches the CVO rear fenders and plugs in the OEM harness for lights.

   I just installed a Yaffe CVO frame, I had to: 1, notch the left corner of my license plate,  2, reverse the pins in the connector,  3,  buy longer bolts to mount to OEM bracket, Oh and by the way the supplied bolts are Stainless but  metric!!!!  :nixweiss:

He said he wanted "practically" plug and play. Doesn't that qualify? :nixweiss:

But don't it look good!

Go to Paul Yaffe site.
It does NOT work with my BC plate(and I have the older/smaller one with smaller letters)....be wary of the size limitations...even with trimming.

This is the Kuryakyn frame on a 2015 SESG. It was a very easy install. Only took about 15 minutes. No substantial modifications.

Also beware of state laws. Any license plate frame that covers any part of any of the lettering on the plate is now illegal in Texas. It gives law enforcement another reason to pull you over. Especially at a rally. They love to do that in Galveston at the Lone Star Rally.

If you want to mess around a bit, you can use the factory HD one - 67900008. I did it on mine, same bike as you. You'll need to cut, drill, tap, etc. But it looks great and it uses the factory lamp still.

Maybe its just me but it's not a 2015 SESG, it's a 2015 FLHXSE. Is it laziness or ignorance? I think laziness. Sorry but it's a pet peeve of mine.

You just made an anal reply on only your 3rd post ever on this forum.  Sometimes things are better left to your own thoughts and not broadcast.

I had a wife like that for a short while and got rid of her.

I would say its neither.  On this forum the bikes are commonly referred to as SESG, SERK or SERG and so on. 

Nice rude way to start off on what is usually a very friendly forum.

I frankly have no idea what a FLHXSE is.  I barley know what a FLTRSE3 is (and I have one).  On the other hand if someone say a SESG I know exactly the line of bike they are talking about.

Lost way too much gray matter over the years to really care about what the official destination is and really don't care.  More important things to remember.

I think mine looks not too bad...considering I have to accommodate a plate the size of a small billboard. That's a frame from the US with the old (smaller) BC plate cut down, hiding about as much as I dare.
