For the record I should explain what led to this mod which I realise is a compromise. Lets face it, having a number plate anywhere on our beautiful Fury sculpture is a pity

... just a minute while I wipe away the tears. First and foremost (some may find this hard to believe) I like to fly under the radar, literally

. I think a tucked-in vertical side mount plate is very

but unfortunately it piques the interest of the long arm of the law. Rear and center is where they expect to see it and I don't want to disappoint. Truly, I do not care for what I think is an ugly appendage hanging below the rear fender. Hands up on that one

. Within my self imposed guide lines the only other options are to strap it on my backside and light it with a methane reactive cell stuck up my ... , or to mount it above the brake light. I searched long and hard to find a clean looking frame that would hug the fender since there is no room with the stock tail light (which I really like) to French the plate into the fender. Unfortunately, I still have to implement a lighting solution which will add a small bit of clutter and I am presently working on that. There is another very significant factor regarding the plate itself involved in guiding my decision but due to legal issues I will keep my mouth shut and leave it to the more astute to unravel the mystery. I will just say this, I do not want to draw any unnecessary attention to it. Remember, under the radar.
