Motorcycle Reflector Mount

thingiverse

In Germany, you need a reflector for a street legal motorcycle. They call it Reflektor or Rückstrahler. Sometimes police or TÜV checks this. I decided to buy a 1.50 € reflector and design a mount for it since the commercial product costs around 5-15 €. V1 is for mounting under the license plate, which is the most common solution but not very esthetic. The mm-disclosure (40, 42, 45, 48, 50) are the distances between the hole and the upper edge of the adhesive part. I used the 42 mm which is a little bit wobbly but had no problem so far. V2 is for under-seat mounting as seen on picture 3. In my opinion it's the better solution. Two holes are needed in the covering to screw the mount. The m3-hole-distance is 13.5 mm, m4-hole-distance is 12 mm. I used washers for even distribution of force. The reflector is a HELLA 8RA 004 412-021 with 70x31.5x5 dimensions. It's way too big but very affordable. Red objects in the 123dx-files must be subtracted.
