I need to do mine

Josh_kcco · January 24th, 2014, 10:30 AM

I used this L bracket. i thinks its a 1/4. i just brought a screw from the under side of the seat to match it up.

i punched out the red plastic piece under the tail light.
photo 3(2).jpg

then used this thin plastic sleeve that came with my vest manual.
photo 4(2).jpg

I attached it with scotch tape in side the tail light pod. The tape nor plastic has not melted to my surprise. still holding up strong. i just wanted something to keep the dirt out. been about 2 weeks or so. Im not to worried. lol
photo 5(2).jpg

this is how i put on the L brackets. i kinda bent the bracket in a little to give to tail lights a tilt look.

i used the original plate bracket to attach the plate with the L bracket.

This is how it turned out!

@Josh_kcco

Looks badass.

Do you have a dedicated white light for the license plate?

Because per California Law 24601VC:

License Plate Lamp

24601. Either the taillamp or a separate lamp shall be so constructed and placed as to illuminate with a white light the rear license plate during darkness and render it clearly legible from a distance of 50 feet to the rear. When the rear license plate is illuminated by a lamp other than a required taillamp, the two lamps shall be turned on or off only by the same control switch at all times.

I got a ticket for it a few months ago and thought i should give you a heads up.

i didnt think about that lol. the light from the tail lamp does a good job keeping it lit.

Nice man

My fix it ticket was a pain in the ass. $58 bucks and two court trips

dcj13 · January 25th, 2014, 12:40 PM

These bikes look good with no rear fender, but how is it in the rain?
Do you get crap all over your back?

Sirref · January 25th, 2014, 12:50 PM

have you considered installing your turn signals to the left and right tail lights to make it look a little cleaner? I wanted to do that to mine before the engine blew and never got to.

I haven't ridden in the rain. I try not to. Even if I think it's going to rain I don't ride. So I wouldn't know.

Yea I have plans on the future to do so. I liked the smoked ones. I just don't want to risk fixit tickets.

Alex · January 25th, 2014, 02:06 PM

You can pop out part of that red plastic in the bottom of the taillight, and it functions quite well as a license plate light.

Roca · January 25th, 2014, 02:20 PM

I want a fender eliminator but oklahoma laws require fenders to be stock.

ah, I wasn't really worried about that since in MD you aren't required to have turn signals.

what you could always do is show the cop that it works and he won't give you a fixit ticket, lots of people have integrated rear turn signals these days.

I'm also with alex on the easy license plate light. You get to break stuff to become legal (except not really)

You can't even add fender extenders? In the BMW world, it's not uncommon to add to the length of the fronts and/or rears (depending on the model) to keep the bike and rider cleaner in the rain.
