rambling Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi guys, does anyone know if this sort of thing is legal? Seems like it would make it hard to see the plate properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brio Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 i would very much doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramds Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 That is not legal, the plate should be visible at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberSideDown Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I believe any plate modification that renders it obscured or invisible to speed-enforcement cameras is illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickymaster Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 That is more than good enough for Thailand. Doubt it will give you any problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canopus1969 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Why bother to ask - you know full well it's illegal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantan Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The question should be: Will it be tolerated by police? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ll2 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) no worries, you can do it. it is visible. at least from a car. but rambling, i am checking these guys for 500 series tail tidy. do you know where we can get it? thanks man.

rambling Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Just to clarify, this isn't my bike, I was considering a tidy tail type of mod as the next thing but I'm still undecided what kind of setup to go for. I've seen many bikes with the plate in that exact location, just saw a few more today at a carpark. I wonder if they get any grief from police if stopped. It is visible but less than stock obviously. Generally speaking I prefer to keep things legal, not sure where this falls (hence "bothering" with the question ;-) ). ll2, this guy does these mods: https://www.facebook.com/500EDITION?fref=ts has a few projects he's working on, saw a CB300 also, but no 650 yet. Check out his album. Edited August 28, 2014 by rambling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rambling Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 yeah, that guy did not answer my messages somehow. thanks again. Maybe language reasons? I haven't tried to contact him yet, I'll let you know of any progress. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1w4yR1da Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) The pic in the OP is an extreme example. I prefer the tail tidy that places the plate closer to the tail light at the same angle, but not too close.

wantan Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 > Generally speaking I prefer to keep things legal, not sure where this falls (hence "bothering" with the question ;-) ).It is illegal but (mostly) tolerated. Same as riding on the wrong side of the road, having a broken light, old tires, ...But its totally bad ass. A bit like riding a Harley with WW2 helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 mine is not nearly as concealed as the one pictured in the OP and not a ride (Pattaya and surroundings) went by without attention from the police. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ll2 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Rambling, if you get the tailtidy, you need a mudguard too in Thailand. Keep in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
