Harley-Davidson Plate Backs

Mike

There are four unique approaches to Harley-Davidson fitments...

Traditional...

a different approach entirely! visit Custom Mud Flap for more informatoin.

another combining plate back types...(Max and Debbie Zemla)

The Zemla's added a Tour Pack Chrome Accent Rail and then added a chrome license plate holder. Engraved map from thengreaver@aol.com (all states are colored in because the Zemla's have ridden to all of them!) and then added two IBA plate backs (top versions).

Heritage Print on Top (needs modifications)

The Heritages do not really have enough room to mount the plate back. Here, Tom Goulette has adapted his plate, but with extensive modifications: “I had to cut a hole in the plastic right above the "I" in MAINE on the plate, to allow the bracket to poke through. The plate (and consequently the IBA holder) is attached via two bolts in the lower two bolt holes, and a hooked bracket that slides up and down (until locked in place with a another nut/bolt) behind the plate, holds it from the top. The hole I cut was to allow the slide-bar bracket to come through and grip the top of the plate. Also, I'll need to trim a little more where the bars of the luggage rack are pressing down on the plastic IBA holder. I'll just scallop that out at each bar with a knife.”

Michael, I used the plate back with printing on the top. My Road King has the Harley quick detach luggage rack and the plate back fit without any modification. The top of the plate back fit within mm's of the bottom of the luggage rack. Thanks for the top print back, I have wanted to display my plate back since my first SS ride a couple of years ago but no way would the bottom print back work with the Road King. Thanks again.
