I need to see what kind of " bike rack " can be used on a gen 2 MC
would like to see if I can avoid useing the full roof rack or a hitch unit.
As you re aware there is no lip on the gate to hook the top straps on.

 

Here is a link to your best option.

That will do it thank You schatzy62 for your help

 

Cops are going to love the way it completely covers the license plate. Or am I missing something?

 

on my prior car it was blocked and was not stopped over it so we will see.
The order is in so I am good to GO

 

Guess what they all do on most cars.

Take a hitch mount for instance i blocks the licesne plate.

Hatch mounts on mini vans in some cases block the plate if it is mounted in the hatch door at the rear.

Hatch mount on a sedan covers the plate on most cars as well.

A Rather typical situation.

 

Yesss awesome thread I had the exact same question. Thanks so much.

 

In Texas, you would be ticketed for that before you drove 10 miles.

 

I sent three days doing nothing but driving 7 plus hours a day in Texas and never got stopped in my Nissan there was not way anyone could see the license plate on that car with the 4 bikes hanging there. And on top of that the license plate lights did not work either. This was during the summer of 2006.
