I was using the Activa’s number plate holder till date and it works. But when I saw another bike, I understood that my plates are mounted way high up than stock.
BHPian Xaos636 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
A few updates. Replaced a few parts as they were faded (new ones were cheaper than painting them), got the OE number plate holder and fitted the R&G radiator guard.
First the radiator guard. As explained in the previous detailed post, I was lucky enough not to learn this the hard way. Immediately ordered an R&G radiator guard from Redline Racing Store as no other seller had it in stock. They took their advantage too, quoting a slightly higher price:
The quality seems to have taken a slight hit now, as I remember my Ninja 300’s R&G guard being a bit more sturdy (I could be wrong though):
The two below parts were old and faded. Checked the OE prices and were very affordable. Hence ordered and replaced them:
The fairings were clear coated as the stickers look to be coming out after an improper use of pressure washer, by yours truly:
The bar end weights were repainted at home:
New number plate holder. I was using the Activa’s number plate holder till date and it works. But when I saw another bike, I understood that my plates are mounted way high up than stock. Not that it did not do its intended work, it looked odd when compared with a stock mounted bike. So got the OE holder as well as new bolts.
The high mounted Activa number plate holder. It does the job though:
It is attached to the bolts of the MRA windscreen:
The new stock number plate holder vs the Activa holder:
The new bolts to fit:
The cost of the longer bolt:
Final fit. Mounts right into the lower bolt of mirror, hence a longer bolt is used here. I guess this is India and Thailand specific as most other countries does not use a front plate. One good thing is that the CBR650R too uses the same plate holder and hence its easy to get hold of one:
