As you can see, it mounts the tail light and the license plate. The extra wires around the back of the bulb socket are power for the side LEDs. The small wire going through the rubber grommet goes to an LED license plate light. The license plate is mouted with two bolts at the moment. It sits tightly against the plate so it doesn't vibrate and crack. I removed the rear part of the rear fender.

Good work TJ. Straight forward, clean and simple - most good designs are. There's another member here interested in doing just what you did. She lives in Illinois so all she has to do is don her bullet proof vest and head for Chicago to find a street sign. Where did you separate the rear fender. I assume you did so with a fine metal cutting, 32 tooth/inch hacksaw blade.
