Hello All

When I got my PS I noticed that the OEM Number Plate Holder was bigger than the dimensions of the number plates where I live.

OK, I could have cut the Number Plate Holder to fit the Number Plate but I knew I would not like the result. It would be visible that the Holder was cut AND I would have to mount the Number Plate with screws.

Hmmmmm...... no go for me

So I bought a OEM Number Plate Holder for the US market (56110241A).

All I had to do then was to cut the reflectors and make a bracket for the Number Plate so the Number Plate could be mounted to the OEM US Holder.

So I designed a bracket that can be glued to the Number Plate including one reflector.

By the help of SolidWorks and a laser cutter the bracket was made.

The bracket was then bend so the reflector will have the right angle and I did tig weld bolts to the bracket. Then it was ready for powder coating.

The final result before gluing.

All the best

Ciaoooo

Nice job there. Looks like you could be ready to go into production!

I found I had to modify the plate bracket when fitting the SW Motech luggage rack on my Multi. My solution is somewhat less elegant, more utilitarian.

I really feel for you guys with the HUGE tags. I guess on the upside, you'll never have to worry about getting your back wet riding in the rain!
