That looks really good. Not $800 good, but really good.

But -- it doesn't look like it has any provision for illuminating the license plate. Might be fine in Australia, but I wonder if that would be legal in the US? I think we have to have a white light shining on our license plates...

I know some minimalist "fender eliminator" type of rigs have a row of LED lights along the edge of the license plate holder to illuminate the plate. I guess it's possible there are some in the bottom or right edges of that frame, that we can't see in that pic?

That is sweet! Too bad that didn't come from the MOCO like that.

That looks pretty good! It doesn't look like it provides additional fender coverage like the one in the OP's post, but it certainly looks like a viable option -- thanks for posting it!

I found this because I want quick disconnect bags for the Fat Bob and the lights get in the way. If the Rizoma had lights, it would be bought by now.

FYI: They have a model with integrated lights...trying to get a better picture of it from them. Will update.

Yowza, the price leaps up to $685, comparable to the Sik Tail one. I wonder why they're so outlandishly expensive? I mean, Custom Dynamics makes a light-integrated license plate frame for $35, and ones with integrated tail/brake/turn signal lights for $120-$130. But these are just license plate frames, not replacement mounting brackets.

Although, if you did get a non-lighted unit, apparently you could add these to satisfy the lighting requirement for lighting up the plate.
