An old post, but I'm interested in this idea. I couldn't find it on FB. Did you ever do the mod?

Meanwhile here in USA people is using more and more the bicycle carriers to cover their car plate and run the tolls... no need to know how to ride a bicycle or to be in shape for it... lol

The cantilever effect was too great with the plate and original indicator assembly, so I went with a cheap plate holder from Amazon in the end (<£25)... angle was good and enough clearance from the back tyre with suspension compressed fully.

but now I have a full mudguard, because I live in the UK where weather is not great 75% of the time and this keeps my back dry, unlike the short plate.The cantilever effect was too great with the plate and original indicator assembly, so I went with a cheap plate holder from Amazon in the end (<£25)... angle was good and enough clearance from the back tyre with suspension compressed fully.

I ride in the rain a fair bit here too. Where did you get the full mud guard? Of course we all like the naked look, but that looks good and seems practical.but now I have a full mudguard, because I live in the UK where weather is not great 75% of the time and this keeps my back dry, unlike the short plate.

I'm waiting to hear back from @jeroenelectrum about this extender. Might be another option to consider..

that looks like 3d printed
PS Just checked and greentec carbon is indeed a 3d printer filament. Also checked thingiverse.com but the design is not uploaded there.

I got it from trikstore.uk, keeps me, the pillion (when fitted), the shock, the undertray and the swing arm dry and clean!

Wohwee that's expensive, even before shipping, but it does look good! If I don't find an alternative, once I get wet one too many times I may revisit that idea. Thanks for the link.
