After a nice day out on the back roads I got on the Highway to head back home. The LEO who pulled me over said he could not see my license plate. After a few minutes he gave me back my license with a warning. I guess it's in their computer now that I've been warned. I can understand it if he did not see the plate from the side. But he was directly behind me for several minutes, where the plate could be clearly seen, before he pulled me over.
Have any of you with fender eliminators been ticketed? Have any of you gone back to the stock? I saw how one person had bolted the top of his license plate to the bottom holes of the fender elim. to lower the plate in an attempt to make it more visible.
I have OEM side cases and brackets. Still haven't put a piece of metal back in to join the left and right luggage brackets. It does not look good at this point and may have cotributed to drawing the LEO's attention in the first place. I plan to use a piece of aluminum to join the left and right and then mount an additional LED Brake/tail light strip on there. So the additional tail light strip would appear below the Fender Elim/plate. I really like the look of the fender elim. So I'm hoping that with the addition of LED strip it will seem more visible to the LEOs.
