Default Can't Decide on rear section clean up path

So i have narrowed it down to 2 options. But I wont be 100% happy with either one and im looking for a alternative or advice to modify one of the too. so i need your experience or advice or "what did you do"........

OPTION #1

I can purchase the bike monkey integrated tail light, which is a awesome mod BTW & takes care of the ugly stock set up. But what do you do with the mounting of the license plate, & plate LED light? I would prefer this mod but can someone direct me to a solution to the light (universal light maybe), & plate bracket?

Option # 2

This 2010, 2011 BMW S1000RR LTD Fender Eliminator

Really like the entire set up minus the signals. The plate bracket & light idea is spot on to where i want it.


& buying both kits and combining them are out of the question lol.

Thanks for looking guys. - Anthony

Thats what im talking about. I think im going to pull the trigger on that one! plus not to mention i can get it painted for free next door to my job at the body shop so i think ill go with the non painted to save $100 there.

thanks man!

ohh BTW, Ill be mounting the plate on the black plastic as well.

I used the Yosh fender eliminator and watsen signals. I also used the Bike monkey light because I have a thunder Grey and with the tinted tail light it looks awesome.

LOL...he must be making his job easier as few radars need waves to come back and if its not 90, you know where the wave is going to reflect at.......
I know about 45 deg rule.....this 90 deg plate is new to me as well ...

I think I'm going to go with the Bike Monkey light & to mount the plate I will get 2 corner post from Lowes & put the in the 2 holes on each side that the stock rear fender is mounted in & put a small LED light in the 3rd hole to illuminate the plate. Cost about $3 (they are the little "L" brackets you use on carpeting)

Have you looked at the hotbodies undertail? I had the Yosh but switched over. BMW, 2010-11 S1000RR, Undertails, Hotbodies Racing cost about 230.00 and you can get them color matched to your bike.

When the police around here see those kind of changes they label you a "runner" and you get stopped all the time. Also, the plate has to be behind the centerline of the axle, so a lot of these kits are a fail. Mine is stock and I'm liking it. Hopefully your environment is a little more tolerant.
