Lack of tie down points and plate adapter

After recently purchasing a Px150 I noticed the lack of any points or spots on the bike to tie it down for transporting without damaging the machine. The other thing I noticed was the plate bolt hole pattern (Italian) differs from ours (North American). Recently I designed a hold down kit made from stainless steel which consists of three main assemblies. The first two are identical and attach to each side of the lower headset assemble using existing holes. Once installed they are barely noticeable but you will have to use strap extenders to fasten your regular tie down straps to as there still isn´t enough room to pass a hook through. The other part attaches to the rear shock mount (without tools) to keep the back end from bouncing around during transport. I also made an adapter
for the license plate that mounts to the rear using factory holes which then accepts the N.A. plate without modifications. I will keep you posted as I may be fabricating more of these kits in the near future if the interest is there. R.J.
