Welcome to my BLOG

I currently own a 2005 Kawasaki 1600 Nomad. This is my 6th bike and so far I love it. There always seems to be a hunt for the right bike that is the right fit for you. Thats why I have bought and sold many over the years. I hope to write about all my experience so you don't make the mistakes I have. Ride and Read on.

License Plate mount

 For some reason my bike came with a large license plate holder / mount. It was made of black plastic and just plain big. Almost the size of a standard vehicle plate. Anyhow, I decided to make a replacement out of 1/16" stainless steel and keep the stock reflectors.

New home made mount


The original mount is on top of the cargo rack in this pic. The new mount is in position where it is supposed to be above the tail light. I also made another small bracket for the side reflectors.

I had the two pieces done in a black gloss powder coat.

Another winter project finished.

    License plate holder is looking better after the changes. The position of license plate holder is best and your work is really nice.
