Need to secure license tag.

[mmm7789]

I have had one tag stolen last year, 45$ to get it replaced.
Put the new one on with tamper resistant bolts, if you don't have the tool they cannot be removed.
So last week someone tried to use some sort of tin snips, but the size of the bolt heads caused the tag to begin cracking.

Has anyone used a disk lock on the license plate? Any other suggestions?

At this point, I am considering a "fake" tag,( with the correct tag info) that would stay on the bike all the time, and using some sort of quick clip to put the real tag on while I'm on the road, and carry with me or in the frunk when not riding.

I had two plates vibrate off(cheap tin) and bought a plate frame to hold it,four bolts,if you used those temper proof bolts you should be secure.

Don't know..!!

but am curious why they want your plates so badly...:roflblack: Mostly I have seen them crack and vibrate loose etc. Those tamper proof bolts should work but with determination like that I don't know...:dontknow:

:agree: Where are you parking?? :shocked:
I'd put the back of your bike up against something...
(Well; within an inch or so)
Make it impossible for them, to have room to work on it! :thumbup:

$45 to replace I had a Florida state tag stolen, replaced no charge. I would Park up to a building.

Zip-Ties are cheap insurance...

Had two licence plates stolen in different places so far. It's a PIA getting them replaced.

I zip-tie my plate on. When in a suspect situation, cut the zips off and take the plate with me. Put the plate back on when I'm ready to ride.

I had the same thing happen to my spyder twice. Fortunately Colorado only charges the cost of a new plate which is about 8 bucks. I ended up buying this from Lockum. They only come in pairs so I put one on the Spyder and then I put the other one on my vehicle. Its cheap and effective.

I guess I've been lucky over the years, never had anyone swipe my plate.

Likewise here. Never had any issues with anyone trying to steal my plates.
