My License Plate Mod

beezer · 02-24-2008, 03:26 PM

I took the time to solo the bike out today and wanted to clean up the back fender of the hideous license plate mount so this is what I did for a total of $1.03 for 2 bolts and some washers. I had a license plate frame laying around and with a little modification and a burst of energy to get myself out of my chair I ended up with this. :)

This is a pic using Idaho's jack adapter which worked like a charm.

The solo look is sweet Beez. How long did the conversion take?

Hey Beez, do I see a jack adapter between the jack and your Nomad?

I took my time fartin around lw. The total work time was about 1 hour or less.

I see no beer in the pics. It will surely fall off as it wasn't done properly without the beverage.

Nice job Beezer. It gives a nice smooth flow to the arse end.
Jack adapters look great. Can you use them to lift the bike at the leaning angle off of the kick stand, or does the bike need to have a prop under the kickstand to make it straight?

did you drill holes thur the fender or did you jb weld it beezer??

**Top Cat** · 02-24-2008, 05:33 PM

Sorry Beez, and this is just my opinion, i don't like the looks of it.
Also your plate light dosen't shine on the plate anymore.

dogdoc · 02-24-2008, 05:45 PM

Ya I agree TC not very legal and cant see the plate for the elctrical tape either.

I leaned the bike up straight with a the kickstand on a 2x4. I had the fron tire on 2 2x6's. Then I slid the jack under while holding it upright and pumped it off the ground.
