Back tire touching licence plate!

Ok, so I rode pillion on it after Joe brought it back to my house (logistical issue) and afterwards I noticed that a small part of the underside of the plate had been rubbed off!

Is this normal? I have an R&G plate holder. I would say that the bottom edge it's about 10cm away from the tire with the bike unloaded.

Oh yeah I have a K4. And remind me never to ride pillion again. I had serious respect for Hannah (gf) after that!

No its not normal. So you had you and Joe on an SV

Bend the bracket slightly so that it slopes out.

I suppose it might not if you don't adjust the back shock. I know it happened on Monkey's bike and he had a smaller plate as well. His basically snapped going over a bump.

So you had you and Joe on an SV

Wish I could have seen that.

Yeah it was funny. Joe leaning the bike over further than I ever have, and me on the back whimpering like a little girl.

We both agreed that the front forks dive a bit too much though.

It must have been refreshing fro Joe to ride a bike with a full box of gears!

oh yes, that bike really does bring out the hooligan in me John that but at the bottom of your plate was there before if we are talking about the same thing, I noticed your numberplate backing wearing away., I would suggeat that it is probably from riding in the reain and the crap being thrown at your plate from your rear tyre, It is no biggy just put some tape over the back of the plate at the bottom.

ps I told you that being a pillion is no fun!

Ah ok, I hadn't noticed it before. I'll tape it up.
