Hotbodies LED License Plate

Guys I bought the latest Hotbodies for the RC51 and love the lines...problem is where the heck should I install the license plate holder? There is a lack of flat lines. Figured I wasn't the first rider on this forum to have this issue. What did you guys do?

Nick

Re: Hotbodies LED License Plate

I personally like the license plate holders that connect to the swing arms. They seem to clean up the back end quite a bit. They have some cheap on ebay.

Had one on my ZX9, and i think they are pretty dang trick. If the cops give you crap about not having a light. Just go to an auto parts store and get the little license plate light bolts and run one wire down to them.

Re: Hotbodies LED License Plate

the guys that I have seen have the bracket bolted to the lowest points under the lights, kind of on the bottom of the humps if you get my drift

I actually bolted mine the the plastic undertray just behind the rear shock. Its fairly visible if you dont have a huge tire hugger.

I ended up buying this:

Yana Shiki Swingarm License Plate Bracket - Silver - Body Online at MotoSport

Anyone have any experience with it?

Re: Hotbodies LED License Plate

On my 954 I mounted it under the turn signal & got two post lite/bolts from Summit Racing. They hold it & lite it up greatly!!
