You have to have a ridiculously small and illegal plate to not foul the rear tyre so its more than enough to pull you from a hundred yards.

They run them alot in the US, there legal in most states over there.

Not seen a bike over here with one before though, I think it looks rubbish anyway to be honest!

Im getting an integrated led rear light so i thought it would tidy it up. I also dont like the tail tidys with the heat shield for the exhaust, which most UK ones do.

Very similar to my set up.

I got pulled for it again yesterday, and after a lot of banter with the cop he decided it's a grey area and did me for no plate illumination Sad

I was always under the impression the numberplate had to be further back than the wheel?

smashing fucking bike there Salty.

Over here our plates aren't as big as those planks you guys have to strap to the back of your bikes. Shocked

However our regulations state that the plate must be able to be seen from a 'birds eye view' at the rear of the bike.
So effectively you must be able to stand at the rear of the bike and look straight down and be able to see the plate protruding from the rear.
They advise a 45 degree angle.
You must also have a red reflector at the rear of the bike which typically is on the plate or the plate holder. Of course it also has to be illuminated.

All that said, I know guys who have them up under the tail like N30s and have had no probs after 2 years.

2 or 3 12v LEDs wired into the tail light, will provide very little light, but lighting is lighting Wink

Might be a good idea to use a red one, so they dont try to do you for showing a white light to the rear? Smile

The only regulations I could find in writing were "at the utmost rear of the bike as possible, and as vertical as possible"

agree , does look a pretty naff and just once more excuse for the fuzz to give you grief... the original tail brackets don't look too much out of place ...
