license plate mount needed

[sleepy2]

My license plate mount broke on my 2012 RSV today . Probably because I have the Harley lights mounted on it. Does anyone know if this might be covered under warenty or does anyone have a spare? Checked with cycle salvage here and he just got rid of one. Checked e-bay BUT they want almost $100 shipped to me.

I would take the lights off and then go to the dealer to try to get it fixed under warranty.

I also have Harley lights and I just used a zip tie on each side. only broke on one side but thought I's just do both sides.

Well I found one on e-bay for $5+$30 shipping so I tried to and did make my own out of 1"wide by 1/8"thick flat steel. It was fun making the different angles that it has to have but it works well. Figured with the thicker metal and no slots just 2 holes for plate should last almost forever!

Mine broke several years ago, all I did is weld it back together and it's been holding fine ever since.

That's what happens when you put Hardley parts on your bike. They just want to find their way to the side of the road.

Thanks Karaboo that was what I thought when I put them on so I made the mistake of tightening them more to be safe but with the slot and NOT putting washer on it broke anyway. Now with my mount that should be avoided. Will see.

Thought about welding but haven't set up mig-welder and 220 welder might be too much so tried making new one.
