HELP! License Plate Relocation

[kcshuffle]

I love my F3-S but I am not a big fan of the stock rear tire fender. I see that Yves (BAM) did an amazing job with his modification but I fear that I'm not that mechanically inclined.

I'd like a side (chopper style) license plate mount but my problem is with the light. Florida requires that the license plate be illuminated. If I could take the stock light wire and remove it to the side mount, that would be ideal.


ANY IDEAS/SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! I can't wait to ditch the rear fender.

YOU CAN LOOK HERE

E-Bay has about a skillion different varieties..........including LED's just go there and take a gander............it's a good way to spend LESS money.......Mike :thumbup:

Agree..!!

:agree: there is one sold here but requires mounting on the rear axel that plays with belt tension and alignment if not done right. :thumbup:

I located the wire that feeds the stock plate lamp. It's on the right side and is clamped to the swingarm. The hole that the fender bolts on to can be used for the license plate bracket without a problem. The issue is that the stock light wire is long enough to reach the middle of the rear tire so it would (possibly) need to be cut.

Am I over-complicating this????

:agree: Also... EBay has lots of options; it's worth a peek! :thumbup:

EXACTLY....but

Mine

Florida requires the plate be lighted. That's what's backing this difficult.

Depends on the light hook up. Now if the plate holder comes with wires and standard bulb you can get some connectors and make the connection. Cut the wire to the length needed or coil it up if you plan on going back to the oem set up. :thumbup: if you feel industrious, run the oem wires into the new socket and re solder them in...
