Anyone make up/purchased a side mount license plate frame for single sided swingarm Monsters ?
I am sure I could make one up, but I wanted to see if anyone was allready running one (pics are nice).
Sometimes it is easier to buy then to build  [beer]

I think he's refering to mounting the plate on the sss.  Sort of like what we see on choppers.
Am I correct ProTeal55 ?

I was thinking of making up a bracket and mouting it on the exhaust bracket bolt spot (so side with all wheel). only problem is I still have the stock exhaust (s2r) for what i am thinking of i need a lowermount boomtubes like configuration. The stock license plate light fits nicely between the passenger grab thingy. would like to see if anyone has done this also.

You are correct sir.
Trying to clean up the bike as much as possibile and that plate in the stock
location is killing me.

Depending on where you live, the plate mounted to the side of the SSS may not be legal...

LOL, neither are those boom-tubes you are riding around with :D

Joining in, I've been looking for a side mounted plate bracket for a bit.  Havn't found one.  Time to make something....either side mount, or one that floats over the tire :)

I live in Chicago, so as long as you arent driving while talking on a cellphone, smoking in a bar, or killing someone you are cool  [leo] The actual law is you can have a side mount plate on your scoot, just the plate cant be mounted vertical. Allot of Chicago cops ride, so they know the motorcycle laws pretty well.

I was thinking about doing something off the stock belt guard mounting holes..

I have one on my DSS - mounted to the exhaust hanger. Didn't require more than some aluminum bar, a drill and a hacksaw to mount.

(sorry I don't have a better pic)

It's funny.
In Chicago, sportbike guys rock their plates bolted to the inside of their back fender.
It is basically blcoked by the rear tire but somehow they get away with it. But if you mount
your plate vertical you will get pulled over and walk out to tickets stuck to your headlite (as me how I know).
Gotta love the city  ;D

first off, sorry i don't have a pick for you, but i can't upload photos here, and work won't let me visit photobucket type sites.
I made one by using the existing chain guard mounts on the swing arm, and two pieces of stainless tigged. the plate mounts vertically following the rear sprocket like a chain guard (not legal in MD).

I mounted mine to the rear chain guard. Now that i see it, I would advise against it, the plate rides inside the wheel. If that comes off I'm F'd. so I'm getting an outbound plate holder made to attach to the outside wheelnut.
