hey everyone,
Has anyone relocated their license plate to attached to their rear axle? If so how does it work? I think I can build it myself, but I am just looking for inspiration. Thanks for the help.
depends on what you mean rear axle.... ive seen a sick design by showyomoto that uses the axel as the mounting point. it turns the license plate into a mud guard for the tire. otherwise i cant help you.
yeah that is what I am talking about using it as a mounting point. Do you know how to embed a picture into the message?
Here is the mount that I was curous in purchasing.

I got about half way through building a plate mount similar to that, but have run into some snags.
2 things I don't like about that mount.
#1 look at how thick the aluminum is. It's got to weigh 3+ lbs. Last thing I want to do is hang weight off the back of the swingarm.
#2 I don't agree with how they have attached it to the swingarm. Sandwiching the plate under the eccentric bolts isn't the right way to do it. Putting a mounting stud into the hollow eccentric bolt and fastening it down that way is.
If I ever finish mine, it will have the brake light and blinker built in. I'm sure a weight fanatic that it's hard to justify the extra ### back there when I can just as easy bolt it to the underside of the fender.

I really like the chopped rear on that and the relocator, how does the bike handle with the license plate that close to the tire.

I seriously doubt most of us here could notice a difference in the bike's handling after moving the plate

Is it just me, or are those two plate mounts COMPLETELY different? The Powerstands version looks like it is your run-of-the-mill chopper verticle mount...
no one said they were the same. ;) they just share the same idea of using hte axle as a moutning point
Ahhh, the over the tire one is cool, but if the police are picky, they could hit you for no plate light....
