Riding a '37 Fleetwood
Hi, I have been merrily selling these license plate straps not realizing that not everyone knows how to work them.
first thing, there are 2 types and they work a little different from one another.
step one go buy your new license plate, or grab one out of your killer display area in your shop.
we'll be using the one I recently grabbed off ebay as a demonstrator.

next, here is a photo of a plate and strap.
next put the strap through the plate like this (one strap per plate).
next pick a place on your ride for the plate and do a preliminary fit test, yup it fits.
this is where they differ, the ones with the hole all the way through the cap plug in at the top of the ball, the other kind plug in on the bottom where the other end of the strap comes out.
like this:
here's how it looks on the bike:
next adjust the strap so the ball is where you want it then push the end in until it clicks.
last step, using your fingers, smooth the strap around the frame tubes and push in on the back side of the strap to tighten it in the frame (the length of these isn't easily adjustable and that's how they seem to have done it on the old ones)
and you're done!
