I road in a light rain the other day and it didnt affect it, since the gearbox sits above the aluminum mounting plate, the bottom of the plate got wet, and the gearbox stayed dry.
as for heavy rain, ive got an idea on how to completely seal the gearbox, but I havent actually done it yet.
Currently when viewing the plate from the rear, its totally un-notacable that it folds under. from the side though, you can see the small gearbox and chain drive, it might be a good idea to put aluminum side panels or something on both sides to hide it, but then again, I dont plan on getting pulled over, LOL.
Yes, I havent thought of a really funny message to put under the plate yet, but their will be one on their soon, LOL.

 

If you decide to entertain yourself by making it undetectable and weather resistant I'll want to buy one for my 91 F2 for sure. I think for a message I'd just keep it simple like "BACK OFF!" in bold easy to read letters lol. Imagine some dillhole tailgating you then <Flip>..........<FLIP> LMAO I so could have used that yesterday when riding and some punk kid in a tuner crawled up my @$$ on a 2 lane hwy, I was doing the speed limit and cars were in front of me FFS.

 

i so want one ,sign me up for one

 

*cough* Nerd *cough* LOL j/k it actually looks really good. Your pretty good with this kind of stuff. I'd get one, but I don't have a place to put it, and my plate is mounted infront of my rear tire so its already pretty hard to see, but you deffinately have something here, and props to you for hooking the guys up on here, but seriously you need to sell a bunch of those on ebay and make some $$$$
