Universal License Plate Holder | Motorcycle

You mount a motorcycle license plate by fixing a plate holder under an existing bracket or fender, usually by drilling and bolting it in place. The same principle works on most bikes.The general process is short: position the holder under the chosen mounting point, mark and drill the bracket, bolt the assembly, extend and connect the plate light wires, then rivet the plate. The plate light typically connects to the sidelight wires.The universal license plate holder by FCR Original follows this principle with three fixing points and a complete hardware set included.

An aftermarket license plate holder is road legal as long as the plate and its positioning comply with local regulations. The holder itself is not the regulated part.Rules usually cover plate dimensions, visibility, angle and lighting rather than the bracket. Depending on the country, a standard road-legal plate or a smaller format may be allowed, so compliance comes down to the plate you fit and how it sits.The universal holder by FCR Original accepts both road-legal plates and smaller formats, leaving you to choose a compliant setup for your country.

This license plate holder fits the vast majority of motorcycles thanks to its universal mounting by drilling. It is not tied to a specific model.Roadsters, customs, scramblers, neo-retros or builds: as long as there is a fender or rear bracket to fix onto, the holder can be installed. The manual illustrates a fender mount, with wiring shown on a Triumph Speed Twin 900.Before buying, just check that your bike has a suitable mounting bracket and enough room to drill.

Installation takes five main steps and stays achievable with basic tools. Position the holder under the chosen mounting bracket (fender or rear plate). Mark and drill a Ø6 mm hole in the bike's mounting bracket. Bolt the holder using the hardware included (TBHC M5x16 screws, M5 plastic washers, M5 nylon stop nuts). Extend the plate light wires, then connect them to the sidelight wires (Red to Yellow, Black to Black). Rivet the plate onto the holder. All hardware needed for the holder is included in the FCR Original package.

This license plate holder is a stainless steel plate, precisely cut in our FCR Original workshop. Its clean edges and cross profile come from cutting, not from solid machining. Stainless steel offers good resistance to riding vibration, road spray and weather, which makes it a durable choice for a part exposed at the rear of the bike. The finish stays stable over time. You choose it in a Brushed finish (visible stainless) or Black, depending on the look you want.

The Brushed finish leaves the stainless steel visible for a bright metallic look, while the Black finish offers a more discreet, integrated style. Both share the same plate and mounting. The Brushed version catches the light and underlines the part's workshop character. The Black version blends into the rear of the bike and suits dark or monochrome builds. Both finishes are available in the FCR Accessoires catalogue under references FCR-UN-SP001-B (Brushed) and FCR-UN-SP001-N (Black).
