Looks nice, but I wonder if it will fit a US plate properly? Looks like it was designed for a UK plate.

I took a dremel tool to mine and some black shaker paint. I trimmed the plastic under the taillight for the plate light and mounted everything using the stock screws to this:

Looks pretty clean

OK, makes sense now.

I did a search of e-bay for "tidy tale" and got some kids books about a little puppy...

Just the plate bracket, good place to start.

I ordered one. I have been looking for one of these. I was going to just get one off a firebolt and bolt it on, but this is a better option. I looked at the firebolt and 1125R side by side and it looks like the firebolt bracket will fit, but the light for the plate is the stop lamp. This has an led light which plugs right into the stock wires for the license plate. I will post when I get it and get it installed. Looks like it will do the trick.
