Side Mount Number Plate Project Part 2

The finished article! Looks good even if I do say so myself. Had a bit of trouble getting the number plate to fit because it was too large for the kit - so I discarded the plate frame and used some number plate fixing pads to secure the number plate to the base plate.

Another problem was that the electrical connectors under the seat of this 2014 model do not fit the electrical connectors (even with the adaptors) fitted to the new unit. I had to remove the connector on the new kit and splice the old number plate electrical connector onto it. If you get round it that way everything is peachy.

Side Mount Number Plate Project Part 1

Time to kit out the 883 with an American side mounted number plate - it will look much cooler than the current UK issue Whale Tail which clutters up the rear view of the machine. I thought this would be a fun DIY project - supposed to require an intermediate level of skill and take an hour or two.

Half-way through the fitting - machine made ready for the side mount number plate still to arrive in the post...

Narrow vertical plate arrived from Jap Graphics on Ebay - £6.99 inc P+P and arrived within 24 hours of ordering. Sorted!
