Since you asked, both of those are ugly as a dead dogs azz. Maybe something like this?



But if you have to use the giant license plate the your choices are limited. Surf the web for ideas.

I've cutted the fender so I can't relocate the plate in this way.
At the moment is on the left side like everyone do, the plates in Italy are pretty big and I'd like to put in a central position..

Ya, but why? Probably vibrates more and needs regular tightening.

Looks like #1 mounts to the back end of the swingarm on both sides, and the other only mounts on the one side. Is that right? If so, I think #1 would be better, if the prices are the same or close.

Penso che il secondo supporto sia piů flessibile per vibrazioni
