DR-650 License Plate Bracket
Bracket installed. Note the light is
barely visible beneath the fender.
Here's what you're replacing!
DR650SE License Plate Bracket ('96 - Present)

Although the DR650 doesn't seem to eat license plates quite like the KLR650, the rear
fender assembly is still big, heavy, and ugly. We've designed this bracket to fit into the
existing fender holes, and replace the entire assembly with one neat, aluminum bracket.

The bracket is made from .125” 5052 aluminum, providing more than enough strength
for the bracket without being too brittle to resist vibration and shock. The bracket is
CAD designed and laser cut to ensure a precise fit on your DR650.

Installing this bracket removes the stock reflector and tail light from your DR650. The
bracket features a pre-cut, 8mm hole for installation of an optional license plate light.
Please check your local ordinances to ensure compliance.

The license plate bracket is available exclusively through
Multisurface Motorcycle
Products. They also stock an aluminum-housed LED light, specifically chosen to fit
underneath the fender.

Comparison of Top Gun bracket to stock bracket
A good view of MMP's optional
license light tucked under the
fender.
For those of you who would like a license light on your bracket, installation requires a
few extra steps and your choice of electrical connectors and tools. We recommend you
follow the basic steps below (after removing the stock bracket - see installation
instructions):

  • Install tail light on Top Gun bracket. NOTE - Be careful not to over-tighten the
    light to avoid damage to threads or light casing. Adjust the light to be as far
    above the tail bracket as possible without hitting the fender. This will allow the
    light to shine on the plate even with a license frame installed, and should also
    keep the light source from being visible (a traffic infraction in most areas - "white
    light to the rear.")
  • Cut the stock wiring as close to the stock tail light as possible leaving only
    enough wire on the stock light to allow reconnection in the future (if desired).
  • We recommend using heat shrink to seal your connections, especially if
    soldered, though it may not be required with other connector types. Remember
    to slide heat shrink onto the wire BEFORE making the connection!
  • Continue installation of the bracket and carefully route the wire harness along
    the frame back to the stock connector.

Now go ride with your new tail light and bracket!
This is the tail light connector on
the right side of the bike under
