Adjustable licence plate holder
For those that want a verticle licence plate holder but need horizontal for inspection. You just need a Kuryakyn footpeg mount and a scootworks licenceplate holder.

RE: Adjustable licenceplate holder
A few questions,
1. Is the passenger peg still useable? You know, like for a passenger?
2. How is that light powered? If powered like the tail light, how hard is the installation?
I've been thinking about a side mounted place to clean up the rear fender. They're so expensive. I'm pretty sure I'm going to my grandfather's garage and I'm going to make something out of all the old scrap metal. Making it shouldn't be too hard, imo, but finding a good place to mount it, and figuring out the light for the plate and how to hook that into the electrical system kind of concern me.
Thanks for any tips.
(I have a '05 FDX if it matters).

Yes the passenger peg would still be useable. I don't have passenger pegs but if I did the bracket mounts to the rear of the belt guard mounting bolt well away from the passenger foot pegs. The light is a stop, run light just like the stock light on the rear fender. I removed my fender light and spliced wires into the stock rear circuit board located in the rear fender. I then ran a wire up under the fenderto under the seat area and then back along the rear swing arm to the licence plate bracket. You can find the part at

The cost is $105.00
They also have the same holder without the light for only $72.00.
It wasn't a hard install at all. Hope I have answered your questions.

I don't know about the plate mount but I will put in a good word for Scootworks. They are only about a half hour from me and I have never had a complaint about them.

Rock, not that I have a setup like yours but is that another one of our fine state laws? License has to be horizontal? Tim
