Getting rid of the ugly license plate bracket.

[ChipBeck_imp]

WA state requires reflectors on rear of bike.
Apparently there are a lot of un-endorsed/un-insured riders (kids on sportbikes) and police pull them over on these technicalities.
So, after doing this mod, I ordered the license plate bolts with reflective heads.

I got pulled over once on my CB11 for making a right hand turn on a red light (which is legal in AZ). It was a Friday night and the officer freely admitted he was just looking for drivers who were drinking. The moment I pulled my helmet off and he saw I was an older man his attitude changed and as I hadn't been drinking he wasn't interested in giving me a ticket. He told me he loved the bike and he looked it over closely. He did verify my insurance and motorcycle license endorsement. He didn't say a word about my rear license plate mod. We shook hands and I went on my way.

A lot of the sport bike kids have their plates tucked way up under the seat on the underside of the fender where you can barely see the plate. I doubt my plate mod would be noticed as it looks very stock. Cheers.
