Anyone know of a kit or instructions on eliminating license holder on 2001 M2? | ||

That is the first thing I did when I brought my bike home. I actually did it with a razor blade. If you look at the stock plate holder: just under the tail light is a "line" to cut on. I will try to post a picture later, it is really easy to do. The place that I am telling you to cut follows the same lines as the tail section for the M2. Take a step back and you will see. -After its cut, you can mount the plate on the under/backside of the housing that holds the turn signals. Drill a couple of holes the same size as the license plate holes. | ||

you can see the line right above the stock turn signal. It is hard to get any more off than that b/c how how the brake light sits there. I think this is the quickest/cheapest way to go. Also, you will have to drill holes and mount the turn signals higher up.  (Message edited by interceptor on June 21, 2007) | ||

I think the Banke kit does just that, as far as I know, it's still available from American Sport Bike. Gets rid of the whole plastic thing, with a neat little aluminum box. See the pic in my profile for what mine looks like. You can also cut off the plate-holder part of the plastic and replace it with either aluminum or carbon-fiber plate-holder, like the Storz aluminum one, or the carbon-fiber one sold by American Sport Bike.

As far as instructions... in the words of Mr. T when giving instructions to his barber, "Just follow the lines, fool". This is how I did mine...     I tapped the holes for the bolts holding the license plate on so I didn't need nuts. Beware: The license plate potentially becomes a scythe that can gut you in a catastrophic accident when it's pointing out there like that. I'm going to revise this in the future. |
