License plate hitting the back tire...
3 Attachment(s)
So I installed the under tail in the pic on the bike and for the most part everything fit together nicely. I purchased it off eBay, from china, so I had my doubts... Anyways all is well unless I go down a really bumpy road (and by bumpy I mean like rolling bumps that get the back shock working) or if I have a passenger on the back the problem is that the license plate keeps hitting the back tire. it happens when I accelerate or hit minor bumps with a passenger and sometimes even when I'm alone. the plate mount came with the under tail, and you can see it's nothing special. I need some suggestions on what to do... relocate the plate? different plate mounting bracket? other suggestions please. pics posted so you can see what I'm talking about. :icon_urinal:

Are you sure that your bracket isn't on backwards?
This is more of the angle you're looking for... Attachment 46327 |
^^^ thats what im thinkin by looking at it. flip that bracket around and your problems should be solved.

so tried flipping it around like you suggested and the plate was to horizontal to actually even see it. If I find a different plate mount that holds the plate like gotcbr posted I should be fine. until then i just bent that mofo back enough so it wont smack the tire anymore.

Got 2 small L brackets from Home Depot and mounted my plate directly under the plate light. Don't think it comes anywhere near the tire.

to be honest that why I don't buy China products especially for bikes.. the motto has always been "You get what you pay for" just my 2 cents... pretty bike though !
