I cut out the crap under the brake light. Took it all apart and cut it with a band saw. Trimed it with a pair of tin snips. Such a clean job no sanding needed. The plastic is soft and I believe I might have been able to do the whole thing with good tin snips. :
KCL " What did it look like?" I guess your talking about the metal plate. The same as the photo I added, but about 5 inches longer. If you don't cut it after cutting the plastic, it will hang below the plastic and cover some of your tire which is why we're cutting it in the first place. RIGHT
KCL, never thought of that. Great easy idea. Not even going to post what I was thinking. I'd go your route. I think you meant to say above the current plate however.

Oh. After thinking about what you wrote, I'd do the same thing we did, cut everything under the brake light. But I wouldn't cut the metal plate. I'd install the metal plate in full, which would fall about 3 inches below the brake light and screw the license plate to that. For lighting I'd use the Kuryakyn light bolts.
I was looking at your pics yesterday and was debating to do that this weekend or not. What did you make that out of? Steel or aluminum and what gauge? Looks good.
