Nice job! I like it - looks very clean! not sure I saw it but did you post where you got this setup, was it one piece or did you create that and if you bought it, got a link?

OK...so how did you do it? I have a Custom Dynamics curved LED plate holder similar to yours, wired for plate light and turn signals, so all good there. I also bought the mounting plate, but that's gonna be a non - starter...too heavy, too much modification, and it will stick out too far. So what I am thinking is a couple of Aluminum 1" x 1/8" strips, mounted using the fender bolts, radiused to match the curve of the plate holder, then mount the holder to that. Also, on the top of your side arm bracket (the spot where the stock lighting mounts), looks like you painted it black, which is what I'm thinking also. This idea of hardware store bracket fab may work but on the surface sounds cheesy. My other thought is to drag out the Plasma Cutter and fab up a plate out of stainless steel, or go to a machine shop and have something made up, but both those seem to be in the "scope creep" category.

BTW, my problem is too many choices....I knew this would be one of my first mods, immediately thought of the side mount which wraps around the back axle, but seeing yours I'm leaning hard that way. Why, you may ask? Over thinking for sure! With just the solo seat, getting the plate out of sight (side mount) is in the money. But when I occasionally put the pillion back on, I think the rear fender as you have set up actually completes the back end of the bike.
 
I think any aftermarket led turn signals will locks bether than stock ones ! it is only my opinion and my interpretation on this case, this turn signals blink in two directions forwards and 90 degrees to the side same go for rear ebay special use to be 20$ pair only and no fold lights on dash
