cleaning up rear end

Hello,
Wanting to clean up the rear end of my 2015 Vaquero.
Just wondered if anyone has done a flush mount with the licence plate?

Klock werks does some for HD products like the attached picture.

There are products that do wrap a round licence plate holders, but that is not what I want.

If you have any ideas or done something that I am referring to, please drop me a line.

I removed the entire license plate and turn signals and installed my own Kury stuff. The OEM is ugly IMO and looks like a fish out of water.

Thanks for the pictures, Lumberjack.
Been looking at Custom Dynamics website. Lots to consider for what I want to do.

Well, I helped a friend who'd ordered a raised abs box for his rear fender. It was raised off the surface a couple of inches.

What I did was make a template that matched the fender curvature, used my flapwheel grinder, made the box fit the rear fender, flipping it over. That made the center only raised anout 1/2"-1/4" in the center, off the surface of fender. Looked molded in after we were finished, installed LEDs, looked good.
They also make them for streetrods, can be modified to fit.
These also look good on a Nomad...

Also cut down some H-D filler panels, fitted them between fender and bags....

In a previous life I used to sell bidets. No not door to door.

Reading the title made me wonder if the OP had his first colonoscopy. :cool:

custom dynamics is the way to go IMO, i just ordered there laydown radius plate mount and illuminated plate frame. i've read that 2 of the 3 bolt holes line up and you could drill the 3rd or roll with 2. I think its safe to say that 2 bolts will hold it onto the rear end pretty well. for turn signals I ordered some 3/4" semi flush mounted clearance lamps(for semis) that;ll use for rear signals in the "bsg filler".

I'm gonna do my best to document the process via video and post on youTube, however I tend to get antsy/excited and end up not getting it all recorded.
