Does anyone have this?

License Plate Compartment

Seems like a good idea, but I don't know if it would fit or look good.

Thanks!

That was the 1st accessory i bought for my speedmaster. I think it should fit your bonnie too. All licence plates in the USA should be the same dimentions as far as where the screws are placed. As far as looks, i wondered too but found it looks just great and seems like part of the bike as tho it came stock. I keep my papers and a bungee cord in it and use it to carry smokes or other little things. At the recent gathering we has i think it was detroitslim who saw me open it and remarked how cool it was. I find it extremely usefull since i have no bags and often have no pockets for small items.

Here's a pic i happen to have loaded online already. Not taken to show the compartment, but it gives a decent view of it. Don't know how much that'll help you since you have a bonnie and i have a speedmaster, but there ya go anyways...

Thanks dazco!

Seems like a good investment for only $20. I'm probably going to pick up some drybags from the same site so I'll just tack it on to the bill.

Your bike looks stellar, by the way. Nice shot.

Thanks. If you're referring to the signature pic, i just put that up today since some changes have happened to it since the old pic. You can see another angle of the compartment in that pic, tho not very close.

Yeah, signature pic. We were replying at the same time. Thanks for the closeup, I think it looks good.

Dowop, thanks for the second opinion. Consider me sold.

Glad I have mine. I did have to do some drilling to mount on my TBA. (I don't remember why) Well worth the $20.

I see your from Virginia. I have read online that OH and MD plates don't always fit those different plate hide-aways.... Can anyone comment on that? My OH registration is a full sheet of paper and it's wearing from me carrying it in my pocket all the time....

On a side note, i lost one of the keys to it at one point and i emailed the guy who imports them or manufacurs them or whatever, and using the number on the key (if i recall) he sent me another pair of keys free.
