Cant win today.. luck has changed!

Finally get around to relocating the plate and turn signals only to realize I have all RH mounts. Bubble wrap pretty good and labeled 2 RH and 2 LH (we both have a FTR) These are from Indian. No hardware included and factory HW doesn't fit. And no factory pass-through for the wire. Anyone have 2 LH mounts??

Those bolts are easily replaced with ones that fit if you have a decent bolt bucket (I'd use stainless). Not a big problem. But the fact that they sent 2 pairs of RH brackets sucks.


Btw:

I guess the guy that was doing quality check on the line at Indian that day, was the same one doing pre-engine run checks on the half of the bikes that have cold start issues....like mine.

I unfortunately don't have a good bolt bin...yet. We RV full time. The wire pass threw I am talking about is in the picture. (Pic with 2 red circles) I drilled out the back and un pinned the wire so it would pass through. I can still remove and use the mounting hole if needed. The other option was run it on the outside (pic with 1 red circle). When I source a LH bracket, I will run the wire for the license plate light back and down to the Toce mount. (Side picture) I used a short bolt from the Toce plate to secure the turn singnal.

RR license plate and signal relocation completed. Really happy with the new look! Dealership came through with a LH bracket even though they are on back order till February. When I do this to the S model it will be another small change as I have the saddle bag mounted. Maybe a hollow 🔩 will allow the wires to pass through.

This is exactly what I’m going to do to get rid of the stock setup. I’m kinda surprised I haven’t seen more of this, but I guess the Toce mount hasn’t been out very long. IMO this setup looks better than any fender eliminator while using factory indicators.

How did you go about mounting the original license plate illuminator? I was thinking I might just have to get some of those LED license plate bolts...

I used the short bolts that came with the Toce kit to mount the turn signals. I used shorter stainless bolts from Lowes (M6-1.000x25) to mount the Toce. The supplied hardware was eaither to short or to long and made contact with the tank.
I centered the factory light on the Toce marked and drilled 3 holes. I untapped and separated the plate light from the turn signals. With an aggressive tape angle I was able to use the factory tape to cover all the wires.
