Remounting licnese under tail of bike...examples...

[Riker]

I have seen several, and recently someone posted what looked like a very simple mount in a picture, but for the life of me I can't find it again. The mount was connect with couple screws ( under the tail section near the very back under the lights ) and the license was angled back. If you could post yours, or tell me where the mount can be purchased, that would be great!!

Thanks :thumbup:

Lights are in the works right now. Not legal as it is here in MI either. Although I have been followed 3 times by cops (1 state cop) and never got pulled over. I think they just want to see the spyder and either dont notice or dont care? It is actually very visible mounted this way to whoever is behind you.

Haven't traced it back yet. But did you pull the wiring from the original location to light up your "screw lights", or did you just tap off another power source? If tapped off another, did you just cap off the original license plate wiring ?

Sorry for all the questions... really starting to like the idea of removing rear fender...:spyder2::yes::yes::yes:

What? Nobody knows my movie? hehe. No hints here and no cheating.

Arntufun: Did those led bolts work pretty good for you then? Light it up pretty well? Was looking between those and some LED strips from Autozone

I think they work very well and light the plate up nicely. And most importantly............. they are cheap !!! :roflblack:

If you can wait a few weeks, you can get them right from China for only a few bucks.

Too late :roflblack::roflblack: I am impatient :gaah: So as mentioned, I ordered a similar model ( Stainless steel ). Little more cost, but got everything for less than $40. Still can't complain, cheap mod compared to what I have spent on other things :roflblack::roflblack::yikes:

Heck, I have already done a mock up pic using a little coloring and cut/pasting to see the look... :clap:

I am so addicted to this thing.......:bowdown:

If you mount your plate vertically like that (as required by some state laws), it will hit the tire with a heavy rider or when carying a passenger on rough roads or big bumps. It can be torn off or damage the Spyder.

Thanks..yeah, it is just my poor cut/pasting abilities...

The actual mount will angle it back to help avoid that issue. As well, I will be putting the shock at max. Mostly ride 1 up, so it should be ok. But I will do a mock install once I get the parts to make sure things will be safe :thumbup:
