license plate relocaters. INSTALLED and HAVE PICS

[stevemac12073]

anyone interested in these. they relocate your plate to your swingarm. i saw them on e-bay for other bikes and i e-mailed him for making them for the gs. he said no problem. on e-bay he is selling them for 40-50, but he said he does quanity discounts. just wondering if there is any interest before i call him. just want an idea of number of takers.

I'm interested, it would make an undertail or highmount exhaist easier as well.

[stevemac12073]

thanx dom for posting the pics. makes things a lot easier. i have no clue how to do it.  

[Jake D]

I think it would be pretty cool too.  Price would have to come down a bit. . .

I was wondering about the legality but it looks like Texas law would allow it.

You might want to check your own state before spending the $$.

In some places, improper display is a good excuse for Sheriff Coltrane to pull you over.

[stefman722]

Yeah,

Hey, I would get one also. I always wanted another place to put the plate to make it look smoother in the back. I know its legal where i live, cauz all the cruisers have that and not once did they get pulled over on the street for bike rallys and shaZam!.  Yeah, keep me posted, i wouldnt mind having one of those

...that looks pretty neat....my concern would be about wiring up a light for it.....don't you need to have the plate lighted up in most states.....most bikes get away without one if the plate is below the brake lights (because they also serve as rear running lights.)....

....just my 2 sense.....

$40 seems retardedly expensive if you ask me.

[stevemac12073]

a friend of mine paid $300 for one for his busa, now that's insane. i talked to the guy earlier. i have to send him some pics of the swingarm tomorrow, then we will talk cost. just curious what color you guys would be interested in. as dom posted the pics, they make polished or black.

[stevemac12073]

i know of a few people with them and they never had any problems with them........yet  :dunno:

[stefman722]

tell him to make it

[stevemac12073]

i will. i'm going to talk to him again tomorrow.

You can use something like this to light up the license plate:


http://www.1tail.com/sa/cart/detail.asp?pg={945F60AE-E059-4EA9-BD18-E2B709C4D713}

It is expensive though, but looks good

That site also has the relocation plates, most are $100+ :dunno:

yeah....I'm not paying $60 for license plate lights.....

[Dima26]

You can also use strobe-type lights made for cars (not sure how they are called) - the white, blue, and red small directional lights that ricers use to light up the dashboard of their cars :mrgreen: They are very small, relatively cheap and look not so bad.

thats fugly IMO
