question for RS owners that removed the rear fender..

[Spy+]

I’m planning to trim the rear fender in my RS, so I need to have the license plate reallocated.

My preference is to place the plate below the tail lights, but the only kit I have found places the license plate on the side ( e-bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350176675893)

Could you share where did you get your kit from??.. pics are also very much appreciated..

Thanks in advance,

I forget which plate frame I have but there are plenty of them available depending on how much you want to spend.

Thank you Mr. Orange.. your Spyder looks great!! I also have a sport rack, and you just gave me the best of ideas to where to mount the plate.. I will do away with the rear fender.. thank you!

This is what I ended up doing...and it was free! Just used the stock bolts and bolted her on. Bought the little LED light you see above it per Krylon's recommendation (you may know him as arntufun) and tapped into the brake wire that fed the plate light before.

The tire doesn't touch it under full compression?

No problems at all...and I ride two-up a lot and have hit some big pot holes.

No problem. I took the connectors off the fender and tied my light into that harness so it tucks up under the fender and still is a quick disconnect if I need to remove the under tail section for whatever reason.

Great idea and I thought of that as well...my cousin-in-law is a MI State Trooper and told me he would ticket a Spyder with the plate like that because it wasn't horizontal enough to be read at speed. (Yeah...I don't agree with that...)

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea...I just don't want my ride interrupted for something so simple.

Rock on Spyderlover! :thumbup:

I got pulled over a few months ago and the cop said nothing about having no front fenders or my license plate being mounted like that. There are SOO many crotch rockets with them mounted under the tail like that I kinda doubt they would actually ticket for it. I could see MAYBE if it were not lit up.
