maybe pulling the license plate to the very edge of the fender would solve any visual problems?

I already have 1 1/2" spacers behind the plate. I was thinking the same thing but I need to go to the hardware store for that.

It did raise the height maybe an inch but they are probable 6"s forward. I really like the feel of the bars now. I have long arms and I can stretch them out all the way for a more comfortable ride.

I just love throwin my 2 pennies into these conversations...

Some cops...I got a jeep 2 years ago and when I got my stickers, I noticed the stack of previous ones in the lower right corner were peeling. Not wanting my new one to fall off, I put it a couple inches above the 'OFFICIAL' spot. Within 2 weeks, I got pulled over and given a warning 3 times by 3 different cops. Not one of them had even seen the current sticker because they said they only look in the lower corner for it. Never mind that it's bright yellow and just 3 fingers' width above the old ones! I had to pay the five bucks and get new stickers because you can't get them off and move them. It cracks me up sometimes. But it goes to show you how they can be about plates.
But it seems to me that lighting that plate would be super easy, anyway. A small bulb housing at the bottom center of the plate, facing up, could do the trick without being obtrusive to the look. Unless it's illegal to have it facing up!

I went and got my license yesterday and the guy at the dmv inspected my bike he didnt say anything about it but he did mention the back tire.

"jkersh".....Hey! Those guys at MVD just have to say SOMETHING! LMAO! In this case it was the rear tire. No worries either way, as "mmwood" mentioned, it wouldn't be difficult to add a light if you choose to, it's obviously your call. But "mmwood's" post also reminded me of a similar pull-over (driving a cage that time) The statey was following me on the blind side, next lane over, just out of my rear view. Sure enough, he finally pulled me over & had me get out of the car. He pointed to the stack of stickers, with the current one missing! Got a written warning saying I needed to get another sticker. Then he told me that when people keep adding sticker upon sticker, it's easy for someone to just snag part of the stack & then carefully peel off the top/current one. Ever since that pull-over, whenever I get a new sticker, I remove the previous one first as a single sticker can't be removed without trashing it.

jkersh,

Better start thinking about replacing that rear tire, like yesterday!

You could leave it go but real soon its going to let you down.
