GUIDE High-tech licence plate options One of the first products riders consider changing after the purchase of a new or used motorcycle is the licence plate holder, and Italian parts and accessory specialist LighTech offers a huge range of model-specific options. Each is offered in a choice of two versions - an OE replacement and a kit that additionally includes a replacement homologated plate light and retroreflector. Made from a compound of a special PA12 polymer mixed with carbon fibre to make the support very light, very resistant to vibrations, durable and aesthetically attractive. LighTech has also introduced an upgrade consisting of practical adjustable supports for turn signals and the retroreflector. The company has a wide choice of spare parts and accessories available designed to customise the licence plate holders. Kit options include coloured special 'Ergal' bolts (7075 zinc alloy aluminium) or coloured licence plate lights in red, white and blue (black is supplied as standard with the LighTech kit).
