Here's my License Plate Flipper, it actually works awesome, flips down fast, and flips up fast, microswitches stop the motor once the plate is up or down, uses a regulated 5v (LM7805 not shown) Which I have mounted on a small PCB and goes with the bikes wireharness, I know its not the prettyest looking (lots of unnessary holes) but what do you guys think...

Pretty slick contraption.
I wonder if there will be a "special" message when the plates flipped up.

Got it installed, it works perfect!, Even held up doing wheelies and Stoppies all day!
Its dark right now, but I will get some vids of it in action tomorrow for you guys

I was actually trying to think of a cool message to put under the plate, so when it flips down you can read it.... kind of to double as a retaliatory remark I can send to a$$hole drivers, lol

Sure I'll share the schematics and the plans on how to build it, you can throw it together for about 30 bucks, much cheaper than 150.
I have a new one I am building that is a gearbox reduced Chain Drive, to kind of slow it down a little, right now is flips up and down so fast it bounces off the stoppers a little bit, so I want to reduce the bounce. And the chain drive will hold up much better over time. its not raining today, so I'll post up a vid of it working in about an hour

Well I did a redesign, now I've got a small gearbox with a chain drive, and spring chain tensioners, the chain drive pulls the plate up or down. should last for a long time, been doing stoppies and wheelies pretty consistantly with it. I ordered some metal working tools (brake/sheer/punch) to make the process of building and fabricating a little easier, lol. I'll probably make a few more just cause their fun to build, and throw them on ebay to anyone who wants one, I'll post a pic of the new chain drive soon, sorry I didnt get a vid up, my DVD cam battery was dead, and I have been too lazy too look for the charger, lol

I would like to make one, so any help would be cool, I didn't see any instructions. Hey if you are really interested in making another one just for the fun I would love one and would pay for all the stuff (plus I would probably mail you some of the supplies, like carbon fiber (I work at a carbon fiber manufacture) instead of metal.)
