High-tech, lightweight licence plate holders and LED options
One of the staples of the parts and accessory industry in Europe are replacement licence plate holders. Whether its regulations or cost, nearly all OEM licence plates can be improved to look more stylish, be lighter or simply have better ergonomics.
Italian manufacturer Lightech is a major player in this space, with a range of designs for an unmatched selection of models and the deep inventory to match.
Lightech licence plate holders are made in a special PA12 polymer compound mixed with carbon fibre for strength, durability, light weight, vibration resistance and stylish good looks. The license plate holder is available either as a basic license plate holder without accessories or as kit that includes a reflector and a patented license plate light design.
The license plate light is called 'PYTHON' and is 100% made in Italy. This light has powerful LEDs - four white and two red - for combined use as a rear light or additional brake light.
The reflector and the license plate light are E approved (European Approval), while the license plate holder kits are TÜV approved (KBA 91919), therefore all in full compliance with the rules for street use. There is an adjustable reflector support and a special sliding bracket, which allow the installation of the OEM indicators or aftermarkets indicators (where possible).
Each Lightech licence plate holder is developed for specific bikes/models, but Lightech has also created a universal version (TAR013), which is provided with an application kit. Lightech has also developed different plate supports according to the size of the licence plates in use - six different models are available. Special coloured Ergal (zinc aluminium alloy) bolts and washer kits are sold separately for a full customisation.
Lightech also offers a wide range of approved LED turn signals for its (and other) licence plate holders - some in ABS, some in aluminium. Some models are only turn signals, other models are multi-functional.
The company has also invested in the research and development of a new line of patented LED turn signal designs with Multipixel Technology and two other designs that offer a direction indicator and front white light, or direction indicator and rear brake light.
