exhast plate holder

[birdaprey]

just thought I would share....
I havent seen it done this way before ... just after I lowered the rear of the bike with dog bones I hit a pot hole that caused the tire to hit the plate when it was mounted on the undertail
almost lost the plate  ( I never liked it under there anyway so heres its new location)

new plate holder..... ( I used a 2nd exhaust bracket turned up side down, and made my on bracket to mount to the plate)

as for the race stand I  had to cut and weld in a loop for the  stand to fit around the plate when lifting the bike  I'll get around to painting it next weekend

more

it needed to be horizontal so the law would stay off my back!

I think it truned out just fine... I even have it lighted with light bolts..

last one

I had made one for the swing arm... but the exhaust pipe hit the plate  as soon as I sit on the bike...
so this was my 2nd ideal... this way the plate travels with the pipe and clears the swing arm.

that looks pretty cool, i dont think you should get harassed by the police about that.

 

[MC MUSTANG]

I think it looks good.

looks good!

 

[BusaCruise]

looks nice...just hope you aren't too agressive with your right hand turns.....

 

[BigBSBusa]

Looks good.

Looks pretty good. Just an FYI, there is a company out there that does make a product that does exactly that. I am sure yours was less expensive though. I can't remember the name of the company, it may have been Texas Fairing or something.

Anyway, nice job.

Good Idea with the stand! I will have to do mine that way.

Great idea, very creative!

 

[Vic_E55_2001]

Can you do it without 2nd bracket? Maybe use some rivets on 1st? Two brackets looks not very clean tho...

 

[pure_ego]

I agree with the two brackets thing..

isn't there a way to do it with only one bracket?

and isn't it gonna drag as soon as you hit a right hander with any gumption?

 

[mjn]

Good point ego....although it'd have to be a pretty agressive turn..

 

[Vic_E55_2001]

46-47 degree should be fine.

 

[Vic_E55_2001]

Look at his tire.
He never took it to the edge of this tire. He must be fine the way he ride. If not bracket will bend and scratch the pipe.
I love the idea anyway. and looks good.

not many twisties  in my area....

I've hit what right hand corners we have here and had no problems with its location... ( I've never got a knee down before and more than likely never will

 )

I looked every where for  one already made but could only find rear peg mounts...( I mounted it like that on top but you couldn't see the plate #'s so I moved it after a day)

cost for this mod. $19.00

Nice Idea! Because some states don't like or allow the ones like I have, that stays in line with the wheel!
