Looking for a disappearing license plate mount. (Now ya see the tag, now ya don't)

I recently picked up a 2005 Gixxer 1k and I am looking for a disappearing license plate mount.
Can anyone recommend a kit to buy and where to order it?

I found this one online:

http://www.mannsmotorsports.com/fastags/

Anyone have an opinion on this kit?

Thanks for any info.

My buddy has that and he loves it. You can say goodbye to tolls. So after a while if you ride the eway alot it will pay for its self!

Here are the 3 I have found so far:

http://www.flashalert.com/eclipse.htm

http://blogs.motorbiker.org/blogs.ns...4533MWEDG2.htm

http://www.mannsmotorsports.com/fastags/


Anyone ever personally used any of these?

Any opinions?

Any other options?

What do you all recommend?

Thanks for any info.

Or wire it to the horn button...


Stealthplates.com is another one. I've actually seen one of those...they work great. From about 2 inches away with a maglight, you can't read ish.

Thanks for the info.
Still looking for more feedback.

I checked out the site:

http://stealthplates.com/

The demo video doesn't work.
It seems pretty good, but I'd prefer to deal with a U.S. company.
I still might go with them, but I like to find something that has been used and recommended by multiple riders.
