Need plate holder ideas

[mncruiser]

My license plate was cut and mangled to fit in the stock plate holder and held on with zip ties. So today I went to register the bike and got a new plate but it doen't come close to fitting in the holder or matching up with the holes. I saw this "angle adaptor" on the Kawasaki site, click and was wondering if this is a direct bolt on and a good solution? I don't know if just MN's plates are odd sized but am looking for ideas.

I used the Kury kit as shown in this link. I had to modify the mounting holes to match the fender holes and used the thin gasket picture to protect the paint. I like it but I have the normal size license plate. I hope this helps.

Utah and Colorado plates fit fine. I need an angle adapter that angles the opposite way, away from traffic cameras, not up at them :)

I did it the "Gadget" way. Cost me .... $0 for the laydown plate.

MD has oversized plates, too. I will be cutting my down when I get a new frame.

beezer, your bike looks real nice.

Turn it over.

You can buy custom frames to fit those plate sizes from the "odd" states. Perhaps not in every available style, but they are available.

No. I ordered a Showchrome plate holder and it was the "big size" , which I think was something like 5"x8", I needed the small one, which is 4"x7" approx. I ended up buying a Cobra bracket with "Vulcan" engraved in it. There's at least 2 sizes of M/C plates.

In the USA. And then there's those billboards they use over in Europe. Lord knows what they do there ???

When I put the plate on my '05 last spring it didn't fit right either (Minnesota plate also). I just put a drill bit (close to the same size as the hole in the license plate) in the drill and widened the holes inward just a little bit by putting sideward pressure on the drill. The metal is real soft, it only took a minute and the head of the license plate screws covered the holes completely. Just another option to consider.

Now, Dan. You are supposed to be a good example for us, not a law breakin, red light runner like the rest of us. ;)
