Good morning folks,  has anyone installed the Stealth III curved license plate holder on a 2013 FLTRXSE?  I know I have seen it on here but can't seem to find it.  Is there any major modifications that has to be done? 


Thanks,

PJ

Did a search and found these two posts/threads...

Stealth III on 2012 CVO Skunk

Sweet Maple is Here! (See reply #2 for picture of the part and reply #25 verifies it's PY's Stealth).

 
Ride Safe,

Thanks for the threads Fired00d.  Just don't want to get into drilling the fender.  They do look awesome!

No drilling at all. Pretty simple install.

Thanks Roly4, just ordered one.

Not hard, just take your time so you don't scratch the fender.

Not to jack your post, but if anyone is looking for one I have a black one NIB on the selling thread.

FYI:

The plate mount is a bolt on.

I did have to radius the corners of the plate to fit correctly in the assembly.

Instructions say to trim the corner of the plate for the harness to run through. I removed the pins from the connector and discovered that my plate holes were in the exact place to run the wires through.

There was also an extra grommet that fit the hole in the plate.

Put it all together and mounted it... plug and play with the exception of drilling the little support triangle for the different mounting hardware. (And wrestling with the two-sided tape that holds it to the fender)

Sorry, I should have photo-documented the process but I really wanted to put it on.

The other issue is discussed elsewhere on the forum is the slight chafing to the paint as a result of the factory mount and dirt getting between it.

Soapy water and #2000 wet-dry paper and 2 applications of compound (coarse and fine) made it right there.

Thanks FLTRXSE-2012, I hopefully will not have to get into messing with the paint.  I just picked up the bike a month ago, and don't think it has had enough time to scar the paint.  Your description will definitely help, thanks for the excellent details.

My scoot has close to 17K so it sees some road time... when I took the original assembly off the first day it came home to remove the reflector it looked perfect....

It's just something that happens with time and is easy enough to correct with the right stuff.

This is pretty well spot on.

Is such a simple mod that looks so nice.  When I had other parts in for paint, I had it painted as well.  Glad I did, and it really cleans up the rear fender.

I just got finished installing it.  I like it!

good job, looks purdy....

I bought the Fat Baggersa Inc. plate holder.  Looks just like the Yaffe but costs less.  LED edge lit and looks perfect.
