Final version of my plate relocator

[Joker1017]

Thank you. I wasn't sure but I thought they would work.

No problem. It just needs to be drilled out and mounted the same way.

this is how mine turned out...our plates are wider than the USA plates...260mm. I have turn signals i got from France.
..PS...spot the dog in the reflection and you get a chocolate fish!

I have the mini lights with the saddle bags. The factory lights should work just as well.

The factory lights are too long and do not work with the saddle bags, you will need to install a 3/8”-1/2” spacer on the bag mount. The bags are not locked in and the light hits the saddle bag.

Just a word of caution on this install, the routing for the wiring can easily chafe. I installed my kit in December and while riding this weekend my bike went 100% dead, I was doing 65 mph and the engine shut off and the dash was completely unresponsive. Long story short was the tail light circuit is routed through the key fob fuse. The wires chafed against the hole in the mounting bracket and grounded out which burned out my key fuse which completely disabled the bike. Spent several hours on the side of the road because Triumph's roadside assistance is not terribly good and the roadside tool kit is less than a joke. Finally got some help from my local dealer who was able to get me a tow to a mechanic.

The metal bracket either needs rubber coating or you need to encase the wires in some sort of conduit to keep them from rubbing against the metal bracket.

For those following, this EXACT problem just happened to a different rider (using a different kit) on the Rocket3Lovers Facebook group. If you did this install yourself I highly recommend you inspect the condition of your wires. If you installed the kit as-is without additional protection for the wires and/or securing the wires so they cannot move and rub then at some point your wires are going to rub against the metal bracket and leave you with a completely dead bike. This goes for ANY tidy tail kit, just a really odd decision by Triumph to put the ugliest part of the bike on what might be the most vital fuse. They had to know that knuckle-dragging cavemen like me would be taking that eyesore off the bike ASAP.

As a side note, make sure you also tighten the caps around the lens covers. Mine fell off very shortly after I did the install and I had to order another set of the lights from Amazon. If you look in the reviews of the lights, this has happened to at least one other person who bought the kit there.

I have watched your mod videos on YouTube and seen the pictures of the license plate relocation. It looks awesome! Just wondering how to remove the old arm where the fender and plate mount.

its 3 bolts, to remove the arm, easy peasy, but the wiring is the next step. I used the Lamonster kit with the license plate bolts being white LEDS, to keep the Canadian police happy, I have pulled all the wiring back and it's now under the seat.

Sorry for the duplicate pic folks.

i basically did the same with the wiring...up thru a gap and under the rear guard. Be aware that to fit the plastic 'under' the guard, the wiring has to be such so it dosnt form a big clump cos its near impossible to make everything go back together.
It can be a pain in the butt until you work out the best way to put this mother back together.
