I have just taken the original plate holder off the bike and then bolted the plate onto the three mounting points that the plate holder attaches to. You lose the number plate light, but you can replace the blanking plate that rests below the tail light with the clear lens from the number plate light which leaves it looking as if the number plate bulb has just blown. If you are using a standard size plate, or a 8x6 (which I am) this tidies up the rear enough without butchering the bike and keeps it looking original so if you are stopped it looks unmodified. It also leave the plate mounted much more securely than the original arrangement, it does not vibrate and look as if it is about to fall off to those behind you. |
