[theken]

where can i put my license plate on my 02 r1? has the underbody signals so i cant go right under the tail light, is there anywhere else to put it?

is it something like this

Just drill 2 small holes under it, and stick the plate there, the signals already are illegal, so might aswell make the plate match

You can buy a fender Elim for about $100 or you can go to rona and get 2 L brackets, some bolts/nuts and make one yourself, This is how mine used to look, It is a little more back now...

yeah thats pretty much how it is, should i get self tapping screws or drill and put bolts in

[Kobe]

I just took of the plate and measured the holes in the undertail first, and marked them with a black marker, then I drilled the holes out, just big enough for the screw to go through

Put some nuts on the screws and it as good, you can also use the L brackets, to make it stick out more, and be less heat with the cops

[theken]

yeah i bought some little L brackets, i will see what i can do tonight, stupid rain

[Kobe]

Yah i went riding because it stopped for a little bit, but it poured on us :(

Make sure you don't put the plate to close to the rear tire with the L brackets or its going to hit and bend the crap out of your plate.

yeah i got some tiny tiny brackets like 1 inch, shouldn't be a problem

so you basically don't have a brake light? or how does it work? half signal half brake?

[theken]

the turn signals are the little amber lights underneath the brake light, about 6 inches back

[Kobe]

The brake light still works, its like 2 in 1 practically, a lot of bikes have it, but it is not 100% legal, I have not gotten a ticket for it though

[theken]

my brake light doesnt have signals in it at all, they are underneath the body, i mounted my plate under the exhaust hanger, drilled a hole in the plate and put a couple bolts through it, with lock washers, looks alright

[theken]

man my plate fell off or something haha, guess the lock washers didn't do there fucking job. if anybody sees my plate on deerfoot or glenmore, i lost it tonight, from around 130th ave till glenmore then glenmore to the french maid. bc817, i already reported it lost to the police but if anyone se it lemme know so i can go get it and not have to pay another 90 dollars
