UPDATE: Fucker gets the zip tie treatment. I zip tied the shit out of it so we'll see lmao. The springs are unfortunately too long for the reflectors with the springs. Also I think one of the main issues is that the washers that come with these reflectors are way too goddamn small for the hole they sit in on my bike. So idk.
I'm pissed af right now! Took the cover off to ride to work this morning and saw it was missing. I have no idea when it fell off.
I should have known this would happen...the plate would always get caught and slightly dislodged while putting on and taking off the cover. And the shitty thumb screws seemed like they could easily loosen with vibration. I have no idea why it doesn't have a more secure attachment point.
No idea how long it will take to get a new one either. At least I took the day off tomorrow morning so I can fuck around a bit. Looks like I can likely file for a new one at my DMV without a police report, but I might try to report it to the police anyway as per some other randoms on the internet.
When I get a new one, that fucker is getting fucking zip tied on this time. No more shitty thumb screws.
It would have been such a nice morning ride into work too.
Nice setup. I don't know if I'm going to resort to something like that quite yet, but we'll see!
What I did on my dirtbike, was get a piece of lexan. Cut it to match your plate in size, then use some self tapping license plate screws to create the holes that you'll use to attach the plate. But before attaching the plate, drill a couple small holes in the center a couple inches apart right below your brake light there and pop rivet the piece of lexan to the plastic piece. Then attach your plate, and if you want a clean finish, you can zip the excess screw on the backside off with a cutoff wheel. It'll look clean and it'll stay attached.
