Is your license plate obscured by your rack and/or the bikes on your rack? If so, you are at risk of getting a ticket from law enforcement.  Don’t risk it!  Our license plate mounting bracket allows you to easily transfer your vehicle’s license plate from the back of your vehicle to your Beacon Light (sold separately) where it is clearly visible. The two (2) white LEDs at the top of Beacon Light illuminate your plate when driving in the dark so your plate is always visible.

Worried about theft of your license plate?  No problem. The convenient locking loop at the bottom of the mounting bracket allows you to run a locking cable through the mount and secure to your rack or one of your bikes!

Note: The Beacon Light License Plate Mounting Bracket is designed to be attached to Beacon Light.  It cannot be used without Beacon Light.

NEW SERVICE: Duplicate License Plate Service!

As of May 15, 2023, we are pleased to offer our new Duplicate License Plate Service.

When you order a Beacon Light and license plate bracket, we can also provide you with a duplicate of your government-issued license plate. This eliminates the need to move your plate to/from the back of your vehicle to the Beacon Light bracket and then back again.

The duplicate plate provided to you will:

• • Look very similar to your original plate and will show your plate number and your State/Province of registration;

• • Be made of a durable 7-year vinyl on an aluminum plate;

• • Have the same mounting holes as your current plate so that it is easily affixed to the Beacon Light license plate bracket.
