Title: Front Number Plate
Post by: dmazz71 on February 06, 2012, 07:08:43 AM

Hi All

Didn't realize how much these 500's actually vibrate. I have a 2003 and noticed that the lower part of the front number plate has gouged marks into the forks.  At first, I liked how the number plate was molded to match the contours of the forks.

I'm assuming this is an issue with the years that have this type of front plate design?

zip tie it. Then if the bolt were ever to come loose you won't have your plate flopping around on your brake line. Safety wire is pretty bad ass too :-o
