I think I would like ot remove the rear stock tire carrier. Is there a kit that is available to do this? what happens to the bolt holes? and where does the license plate go with light? (SUT, by the way.)

thanks

When you remove the tow hooks and brackets you will not be able to reinstall the swing arm as they are part of it. I went out and bought stainless steel hooks with 18,000lbs pull strength and made a license plate bracket out of 1/4 alu. The bracket can get mounted behind one of your tow hooks if you do it right.

if you just want to buy a kit
