Hawk License Plate mount
OK all you hawksters... how pray-tell did you mount your license plate? The bolt holes don't line up with my newly minted VT plate so I tried to mount it with that bracket pinching it and that little hook thingy.... It was a little too loose for my liking.

I just elongated the slots on the bracket maybe an 1/8" on each side.

I seem to remember this issue coming up before. I can't remember if they just redrilled the holes in the mount, or bolted a piece of 1/8th inch aluminum over the whole mount, with holes drilled in the right places for the plate bolts to go.

before I broke the drill I wanted to make sure there wasn't a trick.
Thanks all! |

Yep, that's how my buddy did it, even though I think it looks wonkey. I used the metal ties that came in the crate with black coating and twisted them tight with pliers.

I removed the bracket and drilled holes in the rear fender (left and right of the holes that went to the bracket) that line up with the license plate.
See post #24 http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...t=16636&page=2 Post #46 in the same thread is a closeup of the right side. |
