New Member here... Just got a beautiful 04 1100 Classic and when the ex owner dropped it off he had taken the license plate off and just
like the pic attached all the wires are exposed where the plate was. I asked him where the cover was and he said there wasn't one - just the license plate. I was trying to check into this online and found this pic and mine looks just like this now. Is there a cover? What keeps the weather out of the wiring ???

Thanks Les, I don't have my plate yet but still think that is odd... seems like a design flaw to me. And I wonder what the rubber bullet shaped bumper at the top is for? (I probably will see when I put the plate on) Is this is an opportunity for an aftermarket cover/gasket unit?? Wonder if anyone else thought the same way I did? It would protect the wire connection from water even when washing the bike and serve as a cushion between plate and bracket for preventing metal on metal noise...
