Flip a switch and the plate flips up.

It's on a Duc. Don't think there's enough space on the Monster for the same setup nor know if it's legal or if there's a real use for it, but thought it was pretty ingenious.
[laugh] [laugh] That's pretty slick!
[leo]
Wonder what thats used for? ???
James Bond's bike? [laugh]
The only thing I could think was avoiding Traffic Cameras. [evil]

thats pretty obvious though, i think its illegal in all 50 states to cover your license plate with any type of film, even clear.
Yep. Can't put anything over your plate in CA.

Not to mention ooglay! :-X
That is awesome! I always wanted to do something like this, just be ready with an excuse if you get busted like "No officer, that's not to hide my plate. It so I can take it off rode and not mess-up my plate."

Dutch plate, FYI, and def not legal here! ;D
Around here, if you get cought with a plate cabable of being hidden while underway, you'll be getting your bike out of impound.
Just spray your plate with coat after coat after coat of clear spraypaint.
Yes it will give off a slight yellow "tint" to the plate, but traffic cameras cant read it due to the glare of the sun/headlights, etc..
I have more than enough cop buddies who have confirmed this works..
i tried this and it didnt work with my own tests with a normal camera...
as for the pivoting plate... i dont think police would realize what it was unless they saw you move it up and down.
I think it would be cool for when you park it to hide the plate for asthetics.
just bc its illegal in ca doesn't mean people won't do it. afterall the ca dmv gives you two license plates for your car and a lot of people never put the front one on, and they are supposed to by law.
There's a commercial flate flipper kit out there

For show purposes only... of course

I coat every plate I've had with this stuff (http://www.photoblocker.com/). I speed religiously and am yet to get a ticket, soooo... it might be working.
I thought I saw an episode of Mythbusters that proved that stuff didn't work. Maybe not the same stuff, but same idea. ???

Of course being illegal doesn't stop people from doing it. Not putting a front plate on isn't the crime of the century but is PC to stop you anytime I want. I rarely stop motos. One reason I do is when I can't read the plate. If I can't read the plate I can't run it and verify that some tool didn't steal your bike. If I stop you and everything is cool you will most likely be on your way. Most cops are going to be a bit more forgiving of a no front plate over a rigged to hide plate.
Points wellmade hbliam. Thanks for the info [thumbsup]

Who knows, maybe I'm just really, really lucky. Price was cheap enough anyway.
I do like that frame that obscures the plate, though. I was throwing around that exact idea a couple months ago with my buddy, before I knew such a product existed. Guess I'll have to improve my design...
I thought that one was pretty slick too except for how bulky it looks. Make something that wraps nicely aroung the plate and you may have the ticket. [moto]

I thought the plan was _not_ to get the ticket?
[laugh]
big
[laugh] Nice one lain. [thumbsup] Totally missed that.
The plate spray does work. Here is a picture I took with that spray on my plate. This is the Photoblocker Spray (same as in the link above)
