Polished Thick Stainless Steel Plate
RIchard ..Older AdultMarch 1, 2018
A nice thick Piece of polished Stainless Steel.. I mounted the license plate to this, it will Not bend! This puts the finishing touch on the bike! I am happy I went with QUALITY
Not sure if it will help but better than nothing I suppose
PandaMotoSeptember 22, 2017
Quality made piece but not all the mounting holes line up with NY motorcycle plates. Bought this to alleviate the plate from cracking any further at the top two mounting points but unfortunately I just had to zip tie the bottom mounting points and just screw the top as normal. Not sure if it will help but better than nothing I suppose. So if your buying these for NY plates just be aware, you will only be able to line up one set of mounting holes. At least the bottom zip ties will hold the plate should the plate crack all the way at the top. ðŸ˜
Perfect to adapt a motorcycle license plate to fit onto a "too small" spot on a dirt bike with LED tail light. Thick and solid.
Brian R.June 22, 2017
This is a very heavy gauge metal plate which worked perfectly for my application and needs. I installed an LED tail light on my dirt bike since the old tail light broke in a crash (never ask me who crashed). The old tail light assembly had a plastic panel attached below it for my license plate, since the bike is street legal.

When that was removed, and the new tail light was installed, it's a little bit bizarre but there is a "license place light" to shine on the license plate (required to be street legal), but the piece of plastic on which to mount the license plate was tiny - not even 4" wide. No way to attach the license plate onto it. The license plate "spot" was kind of an afterthought, poorly implemented, although the tail light itself works great and installed quickly and easily.

So I found and ordered this heavy-duty metal backing plate which has holes for the license plate to mount to it. I simply drilled some holes in the middle with matching holes in the plastic "mounting spot" of the new tail light assembly, and bolted this thick metal plate just below the new tail light, where the license plate is apparently supposed to go. I then attached the license plate to this via some additional bolts and self-locking nuts so nothing would vibrate loose, and I'm ready to rock and roll on the trails, or to drive down the street to get some gas.

Frankly, this is the perfect solution to that dilemma, and I hope that some of you who are switching over to LED headlights and tail lights find this review to let you know, this not only can be done, but it's simple and inexpensive. Virtually all of the aftermarket LED tail light assemblies I found out there (amazing pricing, $10-$30, mine cost $12 I believe) have this skinny little, totally inadequate spot for your license plate. It's actually perfect for a couple of OHV stickers or whatever, but too small for an actual license plate. And this "adapter" is all you need to make it work.
Sturdy, should keep the plate in one piece
MagsdadJune 17, 2017
Sturdy, polished on both sides, with one shinier. Easy to install, although the hardware that comes with it is useless. Plan on buying some nice acorn nuts and/or button head cap screws.
Heavy duty plate

Used to reinforce my motorcycle license plate. Without it, my license plate was literally ripping.
