Retractable License plates?

I'm looking for a mechanism to hang my license plate on, that I can retract under the seat - when I don't want it exposed. Looking for electrically driven type. I've seen them for p/u trucks that have roll pans - but not for bikes.

ANyone seen anything like that?

thanks
Ken

You gonna rob a bank or a store?

Look in Cycleworld or Motorcyclist magazines. I seem to recall seeing an advert for that exact thing in one or both of those mags.

actually - a toll highway has been robbing me .......... :goofy:

looking to remove my fender, and was looking for a way to mount the plate that I could also retract - if I wanted to.

It's called FASTAGS. Goes for about $150.00. :thumbsup:

Friggin 407. I owed them 8 cents for about three years. I don't know how much
they must have spent sending me notices, so finally I sent them 7 pennies.

thats it - thanks Richie!! I could not remember the name - knew I'd seen an ad.... :beer:

Targa also has the Eclipse Blackout frame that darkens at a flip of a switch. Also about $150.00.

Ken...
Have you fabricated a mount to bolt your FASTAG to?? or ..how are you planning on doing this...which model are you planning on buying??

Wait, I saw a plate covering in plastic and if a camera takes a picture it reflects back so much the number can't be seen. It was a lot cheaper.

I would think that either way if they get enough pictures of your backside without plates they will notice. If you go by that camera often enough and at the same times, one of those days there will be a car sitting there waiting for you.

Just my thoughts. I'm glad there aren't any toll roads here and I will route around them when I head toward Chicago.

I was riding down Ute pass with some guy on a gixxer who had mounted his plate way down on the rear fender near the freaking shock?? the wheel obscures it for sure, I guess this guy must be a runner? Its illegal around here to obscure your plate, supposed to be lighted at night too, but I removed mine long ago.

Hey Ken, I have the fender elim kit from competition werkes, it is back in pretty far and between the pipes. Have been on the 407 a few times with no invoice??
I have registered my bike plate to my car acct so no transponder req , but still no charges. Still like the 007 deal though!

Bill :)

Dude,
Only illegal if you obscure the plate - I think? :goofy:

BillR - I'll have to have a look at your setup with the fender elim - maybe thats the ticket - I mean the way to go!

I don't have a Fastag yet - just in the thinking stages...

i cross the bridge to work everyday i ride, i used to ride with the electronic transponder (linked to credit card no waiting) so then i waited...and waited... and waited but still no charges to my account, so after nearly 10 months they have charged me twice, i figured if i was off center of the camera and sped...hahaha well you get the idea
