I finally got to do my mod for the license plate.
This is in case you want the license plate not to stick out so much as it is
with the stock rear fender. I took some pictures along the way so here they are.
1) get your tools:
Drill, dremel, heat gun, wire connectors, painter's blue tape, some Sam Adams.
2) stock look:

4) remove nuts that hold lighting assembly:

5) Once the lighting assembly is removed, remove the nuts(see arrows in pic)
to access the wiring.

9) I used painters blue tape to mark where I needed to cut with the dremel.
I then proceeded to cut the fender.

Measure and proceed to make the holes.

14) Make wiring connections. I used the heat shrink connectors.
Once you make the connections on either side, use a heat gun to
melt the plastic and make a more water proof connection.
I also used plastic claps to secure the wiring to the fender.
