Rear Plate relocator
Hey everyone does anyone have any recomendations on who makes a good relocor of the rear plate ? do the turn signals stay there or is there something out there to make them look nicer somewhere else. It doesnt look like theres a spot anywhere else for them. Does anyone make an led kit for the signals or rear brake light. Thanks and I took the caps lock button off my computer lol no more loud outbursts from me

Again, welcome to this forum. Good job not using the cap lock. Since there may be people reading your post that haven't seen your first one they won't know what type of bike you're asking about. Add it to your signature or make it clear in your post what you're looking for, will help with suggestions.

I'm assuming you have a 999?
I have a 748 and this is what I have (FWIW)...
For the rear brake light I have a MotoDynamic LED that has some nice features (Check out the video). Unfortunately I don't think they make a 749/999 version but I could be wrong:
MotoDynamic Tail Light (749/916/996/998)
Even though the MotoDynamic has integrated turn signals I run it in conjunction with a pair of Rizoma Zero 11 turn indicators:
BellissiMoto – Rizoma Turn Signals
For the plate re-locator I'm using a TPO Parts "Stealth". They make versions for the 999 but here's what I'm using:
https://www.tpoparts.com/cat093/inde...product_id=184
I also use their matching brackets to mount the Rizoma Zero11s:
https://www.tpoparts.com/cat093/inde...product_id=187
TPO has a "discount code" for this forum that you can find with a search.
Where I live you must have a license plate light so I use a CNC Racing billet LED one. It's small but very bright. I needed to custom make a back plate from a piece of thin aluminum sheet from a hobby store to mount it on the TPO Parts license hanger but it was easy to make without special tools:
BellissiMoto - CNC Racing Turn Signals
There are other solutions if you look around (I'm sure others will post) but here are some:
Moto Wheels - Parts - Plate Relocater
BellissiMoto – Fender Eliminators
I avoided mounting the turn signals in the tail vents because I feel they are hard to see unless you are right behind the bike.
Anyway, good luck and here's a picture of Anatra's tail:

I don't use plate. I ride with the title in my jacket. When I get pulled over I tell the cops, "I guess the plate must have fallen off." Then I either get off with a warning, get out of the ticket by having a plate within x amount of days, or pay the small tax. Blinkers and plates are ugly so I don't use them.
Otherwise, search the forum. It's very easy to make your own plate mounting crap thing. Just keep the original for when you go in for an inspection... if you inspect.
You probably shouldn't listen to me.

Yep, riding around without a plate where I live will make sure you get pulled over

Yeah... I live in CT also and riding around without a plate will get you pulled over just about as fast as you could possibly imagine. Am also looking for a license plate/turn signal solution so am following this post eagerly.

What bike are you on? I made one for my 748 and it was very easy. Quick trip to the hardware store and a drill was all I needed. I mounted the turn signals (after market) on the lower corners of the plate by using a 90 degree bit of hardware, then drilled a hole in top center of the plate and using a similar 90 degree bit hung the plate from a 1/4 inch rod that I had come down out of the subframe plastic cover heat shield thing.
I was pulled over 3 times with that and no cops cared. I think it cost me $4.68 and an hour of my time.

I have an '02 748R, #0954. Have been looking for something a bit smaller than the stock license plate holder, that will let me keep the stock turn signals, the shape of which I like.
