here's what i got when i opened the box.

here are all the parts.

to connect the new LED plate light, i just disconnected the connectors from the old light and used the included spade connectors.

Installation is pretty simple
here it is installed

here's what the old one looked like. it was just the factory metal bracket with the plate holder zip-tied to it.

Looks ef-in sweet!

But, where are your DOT required reflectors?

no problems around here. don't have them anymore. they've been gone (along with the charcoal canister) once i got the bike home when i bought the Hyper.

I am about to install my tail tidy, and this got me wandering....I do not need a reason for the law to stop me, even if I have done nothing wrong.
So....I got me some of those reflectors...Two will go into the bottom of the plate, but I need to get creative with the red ones that face off to the side...
BTW, here is one source that I found:

Yo Surfdog,

Thanks for the tip. Did you say (in that other thread) that you really only need one reflector to be legal in FL? Do you think just one of those reflector capped screws on the license plate would do the trick?

Oh, to the OP, sorry about the hyjack...your bike does look great!

When you got the EVO Tech system did you have any problems with the bracket for the plate being to small? I have noticed from the Ebay vendor that he includes the extra $9.00 brackets to fit the USA size license plates.

I also installed the same tail, and the one bracket does not work for a US plate, but the box did include a clever little hinged adapter. It essentially makes everything invisible (once you figure out how to mount it).
A clever piece of kit, very happy with the instructions, quality, and design.
It did take me 90 minutes to install it, as I took my time to not break the exhaust shield tabs and splice the wires neatly.
