Ok i love the duke and everything about it...........except the plate holder. If i was using the bike for commuting or regular wet weather riding, then yeh a hooooge overhanging numberplate assembly makes a good mudguard.
But i think the back of a bike if its best feature, and after researching the options (mostly very expensive for what they are), and the end result not much better than the original.

I'd say this job is tricky but to be honest the tricky part of it was working out how to it out as i went.
With these instructions and pics, its easier than taking the sas system off. And you only need basic tools.

Total cost of job £0.00 but i was given a piece of checker plate

Will you get away with the plate being at that angle?

Nice work. Our plates in the U.S. are small and would fit on there nicely.
