I was thinking the same thing ….the cable would keep it in the open position so even if they wiggle the plate it won’t close…unfortunately I have the only yellow FZ09 in my entire state so this wouldn’t help me much anyways 😂
I've often thought about something like this for those times when you see the camera van to late, but in the UK, being caught with something like this on your bike would lead to a punishment massively more serious than a traffic ticket.
Even more massive size for the Norwegian plates and 60% of it is just a huge white border around the whole number plate... Last bike I had a WR450 it had the white border removed and I got a demand to replace the whole number plate. So I did and then bent the borders of the plate, law specify how big the plate has to be but it say nothing about it being illegal to bend the borders :) I also did not like having what is effectively a huge axe blade on the back of my bike if you have an accident so bending the borders solved that also.
Well, thats the poinit, if you are being pulled over for doing stupid shit, and you know you are gonna get a lot of tickets, just flip the plate, and run. Unless you are being chased by the motorcycle cops, than you are pretty much fucked anyways.
Way to go man ! It looks hidden enough not to draw any attention from the cops in most cases , Im using the plastic magnifying sheets ($2:00 each )and when viewed from a straight angle as in directly behind my bike the plates can be read easy but impossible to read at a angle ... like from a speed camera at traffic lights or tollway ! the car also has aset ....... so far so good
They do that too. Some guys use the choke cable on older bikes. Some Mount new switch or add controls from a bike with more switches and use one of the unused switches but my thinking is that could fail and you think your plate is hidden and it's not. That's a problem
you should come up with some sort of way to lock it into the "Legal" position just in case of a "pull-over" & you actually do "pull over" for police... if it could lock enough to resist about 10-30 pounds of force... if it could resist a cops pressure to make the cop think he would snap/break it if he pushed any harder in the legal "locked" position... then when the cop is gone "unlock" it for easier flip action.
maybe some sort of sliding bolt to disable the hinge. slide to lock... slide out to unlock... but I guess the cop would see you sliding the bolt and investigate... unless you accelerate a little then lock it, then slow back down let him catch up and pull over.
Easy solution swap out your regular plate and the flipper plate depending if you want to speed or commute, never speed in your local area and wrapping your bike to change colors helps, always make sure your near a highway. It doesn't take alot of skill to getaway but these are just precautions.
Hopefully the next time you smash a window you hit the concrete face first at 100+ miles per hour... that would make a great youtube video and serve up some nice karma at the same time!
filming and pics are just such a hassle. so are cagers who are writing plates down because somebody else besides them is having fun. great idea. btw irony is the sirens in the background.
Hmm not bad. I'll add some pictures soon, but I ended up spending about $15 aud getting an LCD film that I attached to some clear acrylic in front of the plate. When it has power it becomes clear, otherwise it's completely opaque.
At what speed does the plate flip back (if any) just by the force of the air going past? If someone were to do a 180mph pull would the plate stay flipped up or go back down?
It won’t, most of the air is being deflected by the bike itself Bc of where the plate is mounted. Plus with a strong cabinet hinge uoud be surprised at how much force they can stand before opening
haha I know trust me. The rainy season here in FL was pretty harsh and my bike barely got touched for nearly 3 months almost. I still rode a few times inbetween but not like normal. She'll be up to 30k before too long I'm sure :)
+DAN PATCH I had the same problem, couldn't find them anywhere! anyways I just wrapped them in carbon fiber bc I hated the way they looked and served no purpose for me.
you could add something to the back that makes it alwyas stay open or showing for when you are riding. and then when you want to take pics or flip it back and take out what ever you got to make it stay open.
U meant when police wants to take pics of your license plate, then u flip it and run away. But it would be better if you connect that with a cable so you can automatically flip it while riding.
"so I don't have to worry about flipping it for pictures..." yeah, that's why I flip my plate too >_> lol
Nick Burns I really like the tattoos... those are WONDERFUL identification marks!
I don't think homie put a ton of thought in, before he hit "post".
Lol I like it
Was gonna say the same thing ahaha
Mind yo business 🤨😂
The noise at 3:46 is the reason why we are all here.....
😂😂
Cant wait to be able to flip my plate for all those photos I take
And photos taken by the feeds!
Why am I watching this, i don't own a bike
Lucky Strike don't feel bad me either
Because you need one just maybe don't realise it yet. But it's there under your skin and will never leave you.
@@steven-vn9ui me right now
@@steven-vn9ui yes like the feeling i have to get a SECOND bike. ooohhh first world problems haha
me either. but i'll get one someday :)
I guess you could also rig a remote choke lever and cable to do it from the bars.. so you don't have to dismount.. for Photography purposes of course.
lol🤣
Yes lmao. especially the video from patrol cars. Those suck to edit.
I was thinking the same thing ….the cable would keep it in the open position so even if they wiggle the plate it won’t close…unfortunately I have the only yellow FZ09 in my entire state so this wouldn’t help me much anyways 😂
This man is a legend for still responding to comments after 8 years
Appreciate you bro!
Glad I check yt 1st instead of buying one for 30$ on Amazon! I love this idea!
Half hr later: one of my kitchen cabinets is missing a door.
That is awesome! lol
sell me that 750 fam! lol @@SALTxTHExWOUND
filming or picture taking huh? yeah sure. that's your story and you're sticking to it. lol
hehehe yes officer 😇😉😂😂😂
nothing illegal about this. everyone just calm down, OK? thanks
+Rhonda Mohlman It is illegal
How
Rhonda Mohlman Cause you can fukin flip your plate so the cops cant see! :/
Pretty funny how the sirens started going off on the background as you were installing the plate.
"for pictures and videos" lol. Now just connect it to a cable so you can flip it while riding.
Moto J left hand throtlr cable
Remote choke cable.
Gotta take pictures while riding
You just gotta reach back. You can flip it while riding.
"Blurring it out is a pain in the ass"
*puts tape over it 😂

You can never be more safe
03:46 cops already after you. 😂

The size of uk licence plates on bikes are massive aswell
nfg in florida
That's cus our police force have shit eyesight. My plate is tiny. Fuck em. Catch me then if ya can.

Or you can do the dankest of whoolies through the toll but this works too :D
Or do both lol

Make it handlebar button controlled and I am 100% in!
Super Jozzef id just reach back to flip it but i got an under seat exhaust
Remote choke lever.
They do that too. Some guys use the choke cable on older bikes. Some Mount new switch or add controls from a bike with more switches and use one of the unused switches but my thinking is that could fail and you think your plate is hidden and it's not. That's a problem
@@derangedchild my people's mounted there's right under there seat above the exhaust, works wonders no doubt!
Great for tollway picture taking!

User 0001 Last Name Good idea.
or an arduino system to lock it!

Now have it connected to a switch so whenever you have to smash a mirror you can push a button and it will flip for you 👍🏽
Can you share the setup?
Hopefully the next time you smash a window you hit the concrete face first at 100+ miles per hour... that would make a great youtube video and serve up some nice karma at the same time!
You should have filmed that dark area under the fender in the sunshine so we couldnt see anything at all...Oh, you did.
Great tip. I like it.
My buddy had the ez pass hinge on his bike. Worked well for "photography" ;-)
It's been 3 years since you wrote this comment, is he still alive or had his head crushed on the road.
@@krambis7721 it’s been 2 years since you commented, bet you’re still living in your mums basement alive and well, but still a loser
A cabinet hinge...genius!! Thats whats up
Yes because I would never ever flip that back before getting on the toll road!😉😉
I was thinking of something else but this is much smarter
red lights with flashes
or crimes like hitting or robbing cash wish I never done or will lol just a thought
isn't running from cops on a bike tempting enough?
wyatt hatch i guess its for radars
All he needs is a wire going to the bottom and he’s set for baiting
Also good when blowing thru tolls!
if you reverse the door hinge will the plate flip w the numbers facing up?
I seen this same exact bike color and stickers and all , for sale at a shop here in Tampa
Yep, barneys haha that's my old bike
I'm doing this mod on my grom
filming and pics are just such a hassle. so are cagers who are writing plates down because somebody else besides them is having fun. great idea. btw irony is the sirens in the background.
filming?? taking pictures??
No No more like hide it from the fuzz!! don't lie to us lol good video:)
Very nice instructional video thanks!
The question is can you reach it while driving?
+WhiteLeather Yes you can! Easily just reach behind your butt and flip it up takes like 2 seconds haha :)
3:10. ,, when you are taking pictures,, 😂😂😂😂, yeah buddy of course😅
😜
My man this weekends job locked in for sure
You’re a Florida rider?? Let’s ride !! I’d love to get into vlogging
filming or picture taking mhmmm? Didn't have it flipped down in your intro! ;)
Hmm not bad. I'll add some pictures soon, but I ended up spending about $15 aud getting an LCD film that I attached to some clear acrylic in front of the plate. When it has power it becomes clear, otherwise it's completely opaque.
Everyone watching this is either a speed demon or a wheelie rider 😂
💯 😂
Finished my test time to watch salt!
+Dove Soap haha I hope you got a 100% bro!
This guy is about to save me toll money. Thank you sir
No problem 👍 lol
yes only for pictures right hahaha
Thanks man !!!! I'll be able to use this shortly hahaha
great idea! Nicely done
Good trick to use when flying past oh nevermind
Everyone need to share this on Facebook and thank you bro
Thank you! Feel free to share it :)
I just go towards 95 when I see cops they don’t go after you once you’re over 140. So many exits
That's a cool idea bro. But for the record I'm getting you a can of black spray paint for Christmas. Dat rust doh! Lol!
+Chase Jasper Down lol I know dude, that thing has seen better days but hey it doesn't really get seen while the plate is hiding it so FACK IT! lol
+SALTxTHExWOUND when cop is stopping you and you are full of confidence just change position of plate and the party could start:)

"Pictures and videos" ....right
Pretty sweet man!!!
Out of sight from the popo and toll road cameras. I like it.
Make one that flips around and has a different plate on it
How is your NK1 doing? any 30K review coming soon?... I love Florida...
+NoShadowOfDoubt1 It's still running like a champ! I'll do a 30k review once I get up to 30k but right now I'm just under 26k :)
+SALTxTHExWOUND you better get a riding then Salt we need to see your 30k review 😉
haha I know trust me. The rainy season here in FL was pretty harsh and my bike barely got touched for nearly 3 months almost. I still rode a few times inbetween but not like normal. She'll be up to 30k before too long I'm sure :)
3:44 Are the sirens just a coincidence? :D
Like your bike mate
too crazy that there are people out there who need that, isn't it?
Nice! I like it! For photos of course.
Lol for pictures and videos
did you have to drill any holes into the bike itself
Have u thought to add switch to it
How about turning signals are those not required in Florida or do you have them integrated ?
FREAKING AWESOME idea!!
When you have it flipped, doesn’t the wind moves/ flips your plate at all?
No, the hinge has a little resistance when closed so it stays down
"For pictures and video..." LOLOLOLOL!
It would be cool to have an rc servo hooked up to a switch that does it automatically.
This work on all years & models ?
It should 👍🏻
is it gonna flip mid way into the ride?
Love drops of Jupiter playing in the back ground
Will this work in the UK.... Asking for a friend
When plate is in legal position, is there any wobble when going highway speed?
Hey man, where did you get the grab rail hole covers or what did you use? Looks nice... I haven't been able to find anything
+DAN PATCH I had the same problem, couldn't find them anywhere! anyways I just wrapped them in carbon fiber bc I hated the way they looked and served no purpose for me.
Love it!!!
What is this sorcery?
New bike?
Okay but where do I buy the lil $5 flipper thingy?
What do you do with your blinkers?
Perfect for running from the cops
Liking that John Mayer in the background 😉
Does this hold up at 130 mph plus?
Saving this video for when I get my first bike ;)
Leave in backpack if u get harrassed it just fell off earlier thx chief
Hey salt where did you get those block offs for the ninja 1000 luggage handles on the tail. I want to remove mine
Can i add this to a any 150 segment bike ? Or there should be a specific port for that holder?
Nice. I gave up on blurring a while ago. Just lazy I guess.
the background music made me think someone was calling my phone lol
Jesus man! Manually?!! How is that gonna work, while riding?
Super idea. Bravo...
well I used my plate flipper when I had some pesky porkers on my tail usually on collier parkway
you could add something to the back that makes it alwyas stay open or showing for when you are riding. and then when you want to take pics or flip it back and take out what ever you got to make it stay open.
+Steve Light seriously dude? -_-
lol
could you share your tools and parts we need in all for this ? that would mean a lot . Thanks
How about using a cable and lever attached to your handlebar to flip the license plate while riding?
Can you make it auto flip once the bike reaches the legal speed liit and once it detects you going like 10 over, it flips?
The tape on the plate seems like a even easier solution when taking bike pics.
U meant when police wants to take pics of your license plate, then u flip it and run away. But it would be better if you connect that with a cable so you can automatically flip it while riding.
Don’t do a stoppy in front of cop lol
Lol good for pics and vids. You really mean good for speed cameras and so police can’t trace a bike that come flying past them at 150mph
Good stuff Salt...
Yo...what bike is this?
Will it fit to enduro pitbike 140 or 110 usual rear mudguard??
This is pretty sweet! Good little winter project for me. Thanks bud.
Does it filp back to place during high speeds?
Thanks for a great video!!
