Lost my plate sunday, got a new plate monday.
The old plate was held down with nuts and bolts that i alwasy fiddled with and i guess i just forgot to fasten them before the ride. So I made this sucker up with 24 gauge stainless steel, quick e-z slide so if you wanted to stop in a commerical only zone for 2 minutes so you can grab a cold water, YOU CAN! I want to try using neodymium magnets to keep the plate on, but im pretty sure the plate is alluminum. Its just a safety wire on there right now. Any ideas?

OK, but why would you want to take it out?
I mounted mine in the same place, but used a piece of Al barstock to mount it...

So now someone can easily steal your plate? Doesn't seem like a great idea to me.
As for the parking they can easily check your vin and give you a ticket.
I take my plate with me when i park. I got busted for leaving my bike in a commerical only zone abiet a dead street in less than 2 mins. or 5 mins i forgot. You cant see my vin number either. No stickers on frame, and the headtube is going to be partially puttied. I never park illegaly unless its a 5 minute thing.
I live in the city and bloomberg can suck it if i wanna stop so i can buy a ice cold water in the middle of manhattan.
Just a rant because i have to go back out into the hellhole city,
BMW decides to hit me at a light. Me? fine. But my pegs dug inito the side of her car. She was yapping on the cell phone when i turned around and she didnt even notice. I look at the car and shes like "????" "YOU make the beast with two backsNIG HIT ME YOU A IDIOT" and speed away.
Another ducati rider that is going the same place im going overtakes me becasue i took a diff route. I ended up behind a car that was smoking pot and the driver was going all over the palce on a 1 way street. Got stuck at the light for 2 whole make the beast with two backsing minutes.
Someone put gum all over my guages.
WTF is wrong with this city????
Move....
for anyone that doesnt know NYC the traffic enforcement literally are gestapo. Not only are they pricks but they are also morons. I'm for doing anything that will make their job harder, which will result in them giving up and Heman not getting a ticket.

Semper Fi
my next step is to get a custom plate with the letters ILILILIL the the horitzonal bar on the L is only 1/2 inch long so from distance, all youd see is llllll =D i have to cehck if O0O0O0 or B8B8B8 is available.
How about MWMWMWM
none of them are available :(
But Il1LI is!!!!! i might jsut take that.
I think it's time to move ;D
UMMMM OK???
Whatever floats your boat.
Just kill them all... Just kidding ;D (maybe not)
There crappy drivers everywhere. Leave that city and you'll move to a city with a whole new set of bad drivers just waiting to make your riding a dangerous experience.

I'd be too afraid of losing my plate to some ne'erdowell. But you could also use industrial grade velcro.
Or maybe pin the license plate bracket with Dzus fasteners?
I do like your innovative spirit!
I glued a piece of steel to the back of the plate, and i have neodymium magnets on the way. slide and push! I had a traffic cop go throuhg my bike and look for the plate, she got pissed and walked away. lol
can always carry zip ties. Cut when you park, zip when you re-install the plate.
Good luck on changing everyone!! Just know there's dicks out there and let it slide off your back. Otherwise, you turn into a flaming ball of rage.
wanna fund my zipties? it take it on and off atleast 3 times a day.
I say the neo magnets sounds like a good idea....
