Default Hotbodies Superbike 2 Undertail.. Anyone have one installed on their F4i that can answer a question?

I'm thinking about purchasing a Hotbodies Superbike 2 Undertail but would like to know if this specific undertail has any type of license plate light integrated/included in the kit?

Thanks,
-John

I have the Hotbodies undertail, and no, it does not have an a license plate light. There are other options. I bought and LED light that is integreated into a bolt that is used as a mounting bolt for the license plate. The LED is angled to shine on the license plate. I drilled a tiny hole behind the license plate and wired it to the running lights.

Thanks for the info lifties. Do you have any pictures of your work? Also, can you steer me in the direction of were I could find these lighted license plate mounting bolts?

Thanks much,

some people just put the plate right behing the main brake/running lights and thats enough light to light the plate up then you dont need to drill anything. cops havent bothered any of the poele that did this either.

Here is a link:

Scroll down towards the bottom to see the bolt I was talking about. This isn't the same as the one I have, but its the same idea. I think its better.

I don't have any pictures, but if you are still interested I can get a picture up tomorrow.

Stickman....

Those wont work unless you put them in the bottom of the undertail. If you try to mount the plate with them they will just shine straight back and not light the plate at all.

Definitly not enough to prevent being stopped.

These are what you need:

It's what I will be upgrading my setup to.
