Recently installed the HD tire carrier...lets see some photos of some options other than that hideous contraption that came with the carrier!

I went with the lug nut lights. Much cleaner look!

Thats what i have too. They're ok - i have em zip tied to stay in the lug holes & I always forget to cut it when I bring it in for a tire rotation. The guys never appreciate that. Lol.

I had a cop pull up to me the other day, I was doorless & topless so he yells to me, 'Are those tail light thingies stock?' I say, 'excuse me' cuz I'm not really sure what 'tail light thingies' he's talking about, he took me off guard. He repeats himself. I'm on my way to physical therapy & in the middle of a 3 lane highway & don't wanna deal with some cop that really has no clue what the law is (no offense, I've had 2 tell me they know my fenders are not legal but don't actually know the law so they let me go) so I just fibbed & said yes realizing he's talking about my 3rd brake light. Honestly, all my 'tail light thingies' are stock. My 3rd brake light is not, however. But I'm pretty sure it's legal. I probably should research the law just to know. I do know what the fender law is though. :D

I like the so called hideous contraption. It lets me relocate my plate and it covers the lugs holding the tire on the carrier making it a little harder for someone to steal.

Okay, back home on a real computer. Here's a better pic of the install per the instructions if anyone wants to see how it looks "as advertised".

Sorry for the double post, but couldn't stand the sideways crappy pic.

Thanks for the tip. I like the ORs ability to store stuff behind tire but may not be needed for me.

The Sipder bumper is very reasonable with swing arm attached. Lots of decisions. There are so many options I need to really do my research before pulling the trigger.
