Title: liscence plate
Post by: matthew29 on February 27, 2012, 01:33:29 PM
Good Day everyone of the Forum.  Some piece of trailer trash decided to rip my plate of my bike and the mount.  This only gives me the inspiration to relocate it.  Does anyone have any ideas or pictures they can share of where you put your plate

You might be looking at just replacing the fender. I know Adidasguy on here has a bunch of old ones and he was giving them away for the price of shipping. Might want to contact him. :)

I haven't seen very many complaints about the stock location. Might just want to drill 2 holes and bolt it to the rear fender if you dont feel like making/buying a mount. Don't be one of those chopper dudes who puts it on the swingarm vertically from the chain adjuster, that's just tacky.

I removed the bracket and put my plates right on the fender on all my bikes. I think it looks cleaner that way. Its also secured by 4 bolts instead of 2.
Got plate brackets if you want some.

Back when I had my gs, I cut of my fender, and mounted the bracket up high...

In my state you have to have it under the brake light. So, I  did a fenderectomy.
