REAR FENDER AND LICENSE PLATE BRACKET:
XL 883N, XL 1200X/V

GENERAL

Certain XL 883N and XL 1200X/V models have a side-mount
license plate bracket. This bracket includes a license plate
lamp module.

NOTE

Due to local regulations, this side mount license plate bracket
may not be offered in all markets.

Certain models do not have a rear fender-mounted tail lamp
and stop lamp. Instead, the rear turn signals also function as
tail lamps and stop lamps and are controlled by a rear lighting
converter module located under the seat.

For instructions on replacing the rear lighting converter module,
see

6.20 REAR LIGHTING CONVERTER MODULE: XL 883N,

XL 1200X/V (DOM)

.

NOTES

XL 883N/XL 1200X models sold in the international market
are equipped with a center mounted license plate bracket
that has a license plate lamp assembly.

XL 883N/XL 1200X models sold in the international market
are not equipped with a rear lighting converter module.
LED assemblies in the rear turn signal housings serve as
the stop lamp, tail lamp and turn signals.
