Title: Check out this license plate mod Post by: Mojo S2R on January 14, 2009, 03:31:51 PM (http://www.duc.nu/pictures/10-04-04/DSC00543.jpg)

Found it here: http://www.duc.nu/pictures/10-04-04/ It's on a Duc. Don't think there's enough space on the Monster for the same setup nor know if it's legal or if there's a real use for it, but thought it was pretty ingenious.

Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: hbliam on January 15, 2009, 01:11:51 AM Yep. Can't put anything over your plate in CA.
Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: Holden on January 15, 2009, 01:32:39 AM thats pretty obvious though Not to mention ooglay! :-X Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: ruester007 on January 15, 2009, 06:05:58 AM That is awesome! I always wanted to do something like this, just be ready with an excuse if you get busted like "No officer, that's not to hide my plate. It so I can take it off rode and not mess-up my plate."

Dutch plate, FYI, and def not legal here! ;D Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: Norm on January 15, 2009, 06:40:54 AM Around here, if you get cought with a plate cabable of being hidden while underway, you'll be getting your bike out of impound.
Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: ProTeal55 on January 15, 2009, 07:30:29 AM Just spray your plate with coat after coat after coat of clear spraypaint.
Yes it will give off a slight yellow "tint" to the plate, but traffic cameras cant read it due to the glare of the sun/headlights, etc.. I have more than enough cop buddies who have confirmed this works.. Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: ghosthound on January 15, 2009, 07:41:16 AM i tried this and it didnt work with my own tests with a normal camera...
as for the pivoting plate... i dont think police would realize what it was unless they saw you move it up and down. I think it would be cool for when you park it to hide the plate for asthetics. Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: sbrguy on January 15, 2009, 07:44:34 AM just bc its illegal in ca doesn't mean people won't do it. afterall the ca dmv gives you two license plates for your car and a lot of people never put the front one on, and they are supposed to by law.
Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: Slide Panda on January 15, 2009, 07:50:57 AM There's a commercial flate flipper kit out there
http://www.plateflipper.com/ (http://www.plateflipper.com/) For show purposes only... of course Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: Mojo S2R on January 15, 2009, 08:59:11 AM Hey yuu, Nice find.
(http://www.plateflipper.com/animatedbike.gif) Better price too. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: MaxPower on January 15, 2009, 10:02:10 AM Just spray your plate with coat after coat after coat of clear spraypaint.

I have more than enough cop buddies who have confirmed this works.. I coat every plate I've had with this stuff (http://www.photoblocker.com/). I speed religiously and am yet to get a ticket, soooo... it might be working. Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: Mojo S2R on January 15, 2009, 10:30:54 AM I thought I saw an episode of Mythbusters that proved that stuff didn't work. Maybe not the same stuff, but same idea. ???
Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: hbliam on January 15, 2009, 11:33:03 AM just bc its illegal in ca doesn't mean people won't do it. afterall the ca dmv gives you two license plates for your car and a lot of people never put the front one on, and they are supposed to by law. Of course being illegal doesn't stop people from doing it. Not putting a front plate on isn't the crime of the century but is PC to stop you anytime I want. I rarely stop motos. One reason I do is when I can't read the plate. If I can't read the plate I can't run it and verify that some tool didn't steal your bike. If I stop you and everything is cool you will most likely be on your way. Most cops are going to be a bit more forgiving of a no front plate over a rigged to hide plate. Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: Mojo S2R on January 15, 2009, 11:44:53 AM Points wellmade hbliam. Thanks for the info [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: MaxPower on January 15, 2009, 12:25:32 PM I thought I saw an episode of Mythbusters that proved that stuff didn't work. Maybe not the same stuff, but same idea. ??? Who knows, maybe I'm just really, really lucky. Price was cheap enough anyway. I do like that frame that obscures the plate, though. I was throwing around that exact idea a couple months ago with my buddy, before I knew such a product existed. Guess I'll have to improve my design... Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: Mojo S2R on January 15, 2009, 04:04:05 PM I thought that one was pretty slick too except for how bulky it looks. Make something that wraps nicely aroung the plate and you may have the ticket. [moto]

Title: Re: Check out this license plate mod Post by: hcomp on January 17, 2009, 05:39:03 PM The plate spray does work. Here is a picture I took with that spray on my plate. This is the Photoblocker Spray (same as in the link above)
