Re: License Plate

I have probably the coolest setup for a front plate on my 99 GSX. I dreamed the entire idea up last winter because I couldn't find anything on the market. I hate the front plate look but one of the troopers here is a dink. I trimmed the Wisconsin lettering off the bottom of the plate. Technically it's not ok to do that but the worst state trooper there is, said he was ok with it just as long as he could see the letters/numbers. On the back side of the fiberglass bumper(that's behind the bumper cover), I have 2 flat metal slotted rails. The distance between the slots is the distance between the screw holes on the plate. When I goto the races I just get out of the car and push the plate up. When i'm done, pull it down. I devised a bolt system that keeps enough constant pressure to keep the plate where you slide it too. No need for any clips, pins, etc.. When it's down, it sits about 1" from the front of the FMIC. Looks awesome and have had several comments about it.

I'm working to design an electronic motorized version and integrating that into what i have now.
