Very nice look. That is the best LED assembly that I have seen to date. I like the fact that it covers some area for safety considerations. Small areas of illumination can give a motorist the impression that you are farther away.Originally posted by Rev.Rick View PostSkids (Sid Hansen)

Question... I'm going to add one f those license plate holders similar to GarthXS a few comments back but the one I got has the brake light attached, so I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to to attach that light. I think the only way is to just splice the current brake light wire and merge it in that way but I have no idea, does splicing and merging sound about right?1980 XS1100SG

The sellers name is igvita and the search term was chopper license plate holder. Pretty sick too, it's powder coated black which matches the look I'm going for.1980 XS1100SG

When I was looking for mine, I was looking for an original from a car. But I found so many repros (glass lenses, LED, whatever you want) that I left the car ones for the car resorers. Let me know what you find!Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

Hey Guys,
I got my license plate holder and I was about to install it but I ran into a few issues with the wiring. The holder has a light at the top of it, and there are two wires, a black one, and a green one. Can someone tell me how to install this?1980 XS1100SG

Just found out some more information. The black wire is running, and the green wire is the break. The running wire is to keep the license plate lit so I assume I just hook that up to the existing running wire (there are two but I figure the running lights on the rear fender have two bulbs so connecting one should be fine.
The break light however has six wires, and I'm not sure which wire to use. Any ideas?1980 XS1100SG
