Hi folks,

Not an earth-shattering mod, but someone asked for pics once I had it done so here it is.  Kuryakyn swingarm plate mount.  Also had the rear reflector removed.  some folks like the swingarm placement, some folks hate it...I say ANYTHING is better than stock

I have been reading state and local ordinances regarding the placement.  State of Ohio says the plate has to be legible and not obstructed, and that's it.  I did find a couple of local ordinances(not where I live) that state "the plate must be readable left to right"....read, horizontal mount.  So, I bought both the vertical and horizontal in case on vacation I get hassled, I will just switch it out.

I talked to 10 or so people who have a side vertical mount and to a person said they had never been hassled about it anywhere they rode, and for a couple of them that was over 10 years.  So, I am not going to worry about it....plus cops LOVE the Harley's  

The first picture reminds me just how good that rear tread would look if it was an Avon Cobra.  I pinged them asking if they were working on a 130 front tire to fit our bike and they said they were, but no date....cannot wait to get some real rubber on this bike.

I apologize for the appearance.  Got it back from the dealer yesterday, and although they did their best to wipe the bike down, it's not up to my standards !

That looks much better, Z06.    

The Breakout reminds me a lot of my Titan Gecko except the Breakout is a soft tail and the Titan has a Dyna style chassis.  The Titan came with a pretty clean plate mount but, like the Breakout, it had the big HD rear turn signals.  To clean that up, I went to Headwinds. I used halogen but Joel now has LED's as well.  I'm thinking you'd like them.  I had mine powder coated but they now come in various finishes.  See what you think. 

Here's a side view:

Handles fine but I'm used to it.  Stiff and very fast.  Not a long distance ride by any means.  Don't know what the lean angles are but it's not a canyon carver....   It's a 2003 with 11K miles.  My '09 SERG has almost 40K.  Still when I do ride it..... yahoo!

Yes, you folks have license plates the size of billboards over there for some reason....is that because all of the police officers are near-sighted in the UK?

We have 'billboards' here in Canada too....makes finding license plate mounting option difficult, if not impossible.
