No Nate, I think your is fine. I guess I was just imagining the whole fender gone and the plate relocated up by the hugger and and just a small a$$ frame with some LEDs in it. Without a pic of what the OP is looking for I just came up with this image in my head and was like oh no that is not good. But if the OP is looking to do something like yours then that's cool, my mental pic was way off.
I think you might be right, after re-reading her description. Might need to clarify what you're looking for RRchic, but I think Dub is right - a license plate // led combo sounds dangerous. Get a well known kit.

Something like this is what me and a friend were thinking of. Dual LEDs top and bottom and the sides are amber LEDs for turn signals.

RRChic - Where do you plan on mounting the plate as it will make difference on how noticeable it is?
If it was me I would not use that as my only brake light and turn signals. I don't know how bright those LED's are and I just don't think people are going to be on the lookout for that because it is a different design. Now I do think that is pretty cool if you used it with an integrated brake light/turn signal setup. Just my

I've looked up pictures of this plate on other bikes and about 90% of them are mounted with a stock light so if I do get one it may just have the braking LEDs and I'll stick with some shorter LEDs for turn signals. I may not get it done right away but maybe an add on. Thanks for all the help.

Do the 03-06 light mod for the tail then handle up on the signals how ever you need.. looks FRESSSSHHH IMO! I have an 05 so I had no issues with integrated lighting.. I'll post up of my home brewed kit ... but I have ridden for two seasons with no flak from LEO's and my plate location is wayyyyyyyy beyond legal in terms of deffinition .. but I checked with my local officers after doing my mods and had them check my bike out to tell me if it was legal and if they would think I would get in trouble... got the thumbs up from the DOT officer, PD, and a stater.. if you do anything of the like I would go find your local on duty officer and have them inspect it for you in a parking lot..
