License Plate Mount - Piston Pro - Black

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Kuat License Plate Mount Piston Pro is the accessory I bring up every time someone buys a Piston Pro because it is an obvious gap in any loaded rack setup, and Kuat has solved it cleanly. The billet aluminum and black anodized match the rack so well that it looks factory, and the rotating mount is a thoughtful detail that keeps the whole setup tidy, whether you have bikes on or not. The install is genuinely simple, and the result is a legally compliant setup that does not compromise the look of the rack."

A hitch rack loaded with bikes does one thing reliably well and one thing poorly. It carries bikes with confidence, and it obscures your license plate from view, which is a legal issue in most states and a practical one on any drive where you would rather not attract attention for the wrong reasons. The Kuat License Plate Mount Piston Pro solves that problem with a purpose-built solution that integrates directly into the Piston Pro's endcap and relocates the plate to a clear, rear-facing position at the back of the rack.

The construction is billet machined aluminum finished in black anodize, the same material and finish language as the Piston Pro itself, which means the mount looks like a factory component rather than an accessory bolted on as an afterthought. The rotating design handles both states of the rack cleanly, swinging the plate into a stowed position when the rack is empty and rotating it into the proper in-use position the moment bikes go on. Installation follows a straightforward three-step process of removing the endcap, placing the mount on the exposed center beam, and reassembling, requiring no permanent modifications to the rack and no hardware beyond what is included.

For Piston Pro owners who want their entire setup to perform and present at the same level as the rack itself, the License Plate Mount Piston Pro is the detail that closes the loop on a complete, road-legal, and visually cohesive build.
