Evotech Tail Tidy (Pics Needed from California Users)

[EEL]

So I got the tail tidy installed and it all went without a hitch except for the license plate itself. I have a california license plate and the holes dont line up. Can someone post some pics of how the california plate is supposed to be attached? I have these two license plate funky adapters and they almost seem to be an afterthought.

Thanks in advance.

FYI, Looking for 696,796, 1100, 1100 evo pics.

Definately seems like an afterthought , this is how I installed mine evotech

Arg,

That's exactly what I was getting. The brackets stick out the side in a weird way.
I thought I was doing it wrong but I couldn't get it to work any other way. Hence the request to the braintrust.

Looks like I'll just need to get a piece of aluminum from the hardware store and drill out a custom bracket. I don't want to drill holes into the license plate.

BOO!

I've filed my grievance with EVO-Tech. When I spend a significant amount of money for a product, I expect it to function right. Really disappointed that these guys couldn't produce a bracket that would work for the most populous state in the United States (and probably the largest Ducati market in the US as well)

On a side note, the feature to review their product on their website is broken. Not surprised about this because I'm willing to be that a lot of people would complain if they had it aactually working.

I bought their exhaust hangar as well so I'm already on the hook for two purchases. No way I'm giving them any more business.

 I was/am at some point going to also make a new mounting bracket, probably, simply out of a piece of aluminum stock. My kit came with plastic wing nuts to attach the license plate and cheap aluminum  hardware for the adjustment brackets which I replaced with proper hardware, loctited in place and it has been that way for some time.
 Overall I am very happy with the product and I have seen other, more poorly designed tails.

I went and bought some 1/8" thick aluminum bar stock from the hardware store. Out 5 bucks for material and probably another 5 bucks for fasteners when I'm done.
