ZX-10R - License Holder How Too
Hummm, what to order if hardly nothing is available?
I know, order a ZX-10R! Now everything is there to clean it up already! You just have to take stuff apart and put it back together, on a diet if you will! Look at the black bracket:
It comes with the bike. Once the mud flap is removed I took the reflectors off, ground off the hooks and placed the brackets back on.
I wish I didn't have to redrill my tag holes. If I'd bought two L brackets I could have made it a bit cleaner but since son had my truck and bike was missing blinkers, I wing'd it.
The overall look is ok, I think. Least in a pinch.
I'd like to have painted the brackets to match the bikes color, but ran out of time. The blinkers were handed to me from a bud who no longer used them so cost was zero. To mount blinkers I drilled out the "welded on nut" where the rear reflectors mounted by screw and placed a home made bracket on the stem pointed towards the center of the bike and then pushed the blinker stem through the hole. Tighten up, align, run wires through really big hole Kawasaki placed on left side and whala!
Well, other than a 6 or so mile trip to friends for storage, this is it:
The place I'll long to be hunched over on after Monday morning:
Ride'em fast or ride'em slow. For crying out loud, go out and ride'em! Call your buds up and chase down the sun! Go for a solo ride. Go find the beach, mountains, desert, flowers, moon, wind, something! Just make the two wheels roll! Why, because if I were not going back to Korea, that is exactly what I would be doing, period!
God's Speed or Kawasaki's, just keep it safe and make it home.
KZ2ZX, thank you for all the help

If I had used L brackets, longer than what I made, the tail light actually would have placed a soft glow on the tag. The angle had to be a tad bit steeper than what's above, though.
But then again, I didn't want to separate the tag to far rearward from the blinkers...
Why couldn't they just have placed recessed blinkers between the brake and the place my tag sits ... oh well. You guys get it figured out. I'll keep looking around for idea's here

If you don't mind a little drilling, buy two of the LED's that are already mounted in a snap in housing. Then mount them about a third of the way in from each edge of the plate shining down on it. You could easily wire in a little switch to shut them off when necessary.

In a few weeks Kawasaki will bring out a trimmed license plate holder.
Check in a few week your dealer for 10r accessories.

When linking a picture...you need to right click your mouse on the actual picture and look at the properties. Highlight the address and copy it. That is the info you should be putting in between the "img" commands.
For example:
