Here's my License Plate Flipper, it actually works awesome, flips down fast, and flips up fast, microswitches stop the motor once the plate is up or down, uses a regulated 5v (LM7805 not shown) Which I have mounted on a small PCB and goes with the bikes wireharness, I know its not the prettyest looking (lots of unnessary holes) but what do you guys think...

 

now thats some james bond $hit right there. looks pretty cool and sneaky. post up a video of it in action when you get it on your bike.

 

I'm sure he'll never use that on the street...wink wink

 

Yeah, would like to see how it works.

 

Pretty slick contraption.
I wonder if there will be a "special" message when the plates flipped up.

 

Got it installed, it works perfect!, Even held up doing wheelies and Stoppies all day!
Its dark right now, but I will get some vids of it in action tomorrow for you guys

I was actually trying to think of a cool message to put under the plate, so when it flips down you can read it.... kind of to double as a retaliatory remark I can send to a$$hole drivers, lol

 

How much did it cost you to make including time etc vs the $150 you could have bought 1 for...

 

care to share schematics? looks good and i want one to build myself but havent had the time to draw a diagram.

 

i use loosely fastened zipties. anything faster than 10mph and the plate is flapping in the wind!

 

Sure I'll share the schematics and the plans on how to build it, you can throw it together for about 30 bucks, much cheaper than 150.
I have a new one I am building that is a gearbox reduced Chain Drive, to kind of slow it down a little, right now is flips up and down so fast it bounces off the stoppers a little bit, so I want to reduce the bounce. And the chain drive will hold up much better over time. its not raining today, so I'll post up a vid of it working in about an hour
