About License Plates, Frames & Holders

License plate frames, mounts and kits hold a plate on a quad or side-by-side, and lighted frames add light on the plate. Owners shop here where a plate is required for the machine, or to replace a plate holder that has cracked or been lost.

The listings here are mostly lighted frames in gloss black or chrome, plate mounts and complete plate kits, many made for the Polaris RZR, RZR Pro and the Talon. Lighted frames need power, so plan on wiring them in, usually to the taillight circuit, following the instructions. Mounts are shaped for particular models, so match your machine in the Ride Finder at the top of the page. Read titles carefully, because a few skid plates for sport quads like the Yamaha YFZ 450 and Honda TRX 450, and a chain tool kit, are listed here too.

Brands here include Custom Dynamics, Axia, Hardline, XK Glow and Optronics Inc.. For other mounting parts, see Mounts, Brackets & Hardware and Bumpers & Parts. The whole group is Body & Frame.

FAQs on license plate frames and holders

Do lighted license plate frames need to be wired in?

Yes. A lighted frame uses the machine's electrical system, so it needs a connection, usually to the taillight or another accessory circuit. Follow the instructions for where each wire connects, and protect the connection from water and vibration.

Where does the plate go on a side-by-side?

Placement depends on the machine and on local rules, so check your local regulations for where the plate must sit and whether it must be lit. Many mounts are made for a particular model's rear body to hold the plate in a set position.

Will a plate mount made for one model fit another?

Usually not. The mounts here are listed for particular machines such as the Talon and RZR, because rear bodies and mounting points differ. Match your model and year before ordering, because a mount for the wrong model may not line up with the holes or hold the plate in the right place.

Why are skid plates listed in this category?

A few model-specific skid plates for quads like the Yamaha YFZ 450 and Honda TRX 450 appear here. A skid plate protects the underside of the frame and has nothing to do with a license plate, so read the title before you order.
