Grifter License Plate Valuable Holder Installation
Kyle Brandshaw from Cruiser Customizing introducing to you today: the Grifter. Where do you store
your insurance, your registration, the important paper work?
Do you toss it into an unlocked saddle bag? Do you keep it in your battery box?
Or do you store your important documents underneath the sit which takes a wrench and a bolt to
get off?
The Grifter is an awesome solution for motorcycles, water crafts, storage sheds; any place where
you need to lock up your important documents.
What this will do is that it will mount right underneath your license plate frame. So, I
want you to come in, while I disassemble this frame, and I'll show you how the Grifter installs.
When you open the Grifter's case, you are going to find all of the attaching hardware
and a lock. We are going to start this assembly by putting the lock into the Grifter and using
Thread Lock.
The installation of the Grifter's lock is very simple. We are going to take the lock,
we are going to slide it in a place like sow.
We are going then to take our thread lock and apply a little dab over there.
We are now going to take our nut, slide it over the locking mechanism and screw it in
the place.
Now there's 2 things you want to pay attention here. Number 1 that you install the lock,
so that when it turns, it's going to hit the latch over here to the other side.
You want to make sure that you are allowing it to lock and not stay open. The second thing
you want to do is that after you get this lock hand tightening, you can go ahead and
a full size set of appliers.
Go ahead and get us a couple of last twists to make sure that you are securely fastened.
The next thing that we are going to do is that we are going remove all of these 4 bolts
so that we have a plain license plate that we can then put the Grifter underneath.
Now we want to attach the Grifter to the license plate frame. Now, what's going to happen here
with this particular application, we would normally set this on top, mark it back through
these 2 bars here, drill the holes and then attach the Grifter.
What we are going to do in this case because this particular frame has 2 existing studs
here. What we are going to do a little bit different on this one. I'm going to put just
a bit of marking fluid using a locked tied at the moment.
And now I'm going to take this Grifter and I'm going to set it up exactly where I'm going
to want it. And I'm going to touch those 2 bolts.
And I know that those are the exact 2 places that I now going to need to drill. There we
go!
Look at that perfect fit! Now, we are going to take this [..] lock we take from this particular
bracket to begin with.
And now we are going to go ahead and tighten them down. Now that we have the Grifter essentially
installed, we are going to take our license plate and license plate frame.
We are going to set it up here in position and now we are going to screw these special
screws into this frame to attach it to the Grifter.
So, here we have the Grifter installed and now we can insert our important documents
into this locked device.
So here we are going to open it up. And let me show you another feature of the Grifter.
On the inside, they give you a plastic sleeve that allows you to slide your documents into
the sleeve so they stay protected and in one place.
Now, if you've got keys or something else that you want to lock inside the Grifter,
you can do that!
And this piece of styrofoam keeps them from bouncing around. So, it's just that easy.
You can have a locked compartment on your motorcycle to carry all of your important
documents.
