DP carbon license plate holder

01101101 · Aug 3, 2016

Does anyone have the DP carbon license plate holder (96989911B) and can post a photo of their bike please? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the extremely high price, but I couldn't find any photos of what it looks like installed. On the product image I can't see a huge difference to the stock one.

It doesn't include indicators, or does it? I've already got LED ones.

I've currently got an Evotech tail tidy which looks great, but lately I'm often riding in wet conditions so it's a bit too short and I'm tired of getting so wet.

Thanks

It's not worth the price, but I think it looks great. It's half way between a fender eliminator and the stock mount. It includes LED indicators that are smaller than stock but larger than the DP LED ones. I like them better, as I had the DP ones on before and they're a bit too small and don't look right IMO. I hate fender eliminators, and this is definitely not one.

The mount works with both the factory side bags and the top case.

Thanks, that's very useful info.

Here's a crappy picture but maybe it will help. I have the luggage mount on the bike since I use the Ducati top case when I commute to work. Looks better without that on of course.

Thanks, I have since found a few photos on Google. I love the horizontal look. Is it good for riding in the rain? I'll probably get one and then sell my DP LED indicators and the tidy tail to recover some of the crazy retail price.

I'm a fair weather rider so I never intentionally ride in the rain. It seems to do a decent job though. I have never ended up with a back full of dirt. Also there is only one small piece of carbon on it- a little cover directly behind the tail lamp. The license plate light is LED as well.

The retail price is crazy steep, but if you shop around you can probably find a better deal. I see a used one on eBay right now for 300.
