Short License Plate Bracket For Aprilia RS457 - 2024 to 2025

Short License Plate Bracket for Aprilia RS457 (2024 to 2025)

The Aprilia RS457 is a fully-faired 450cc parallel twin that brought genuine race styling to the accessible middleweight category. The factory rear section carries a license plate bracket integrated into the undertail that follows OEM regulatory requirements but creates visual bulk below the RS457's clean tail unit. This short license plate bracket replaces the OEM unit with a compact, laterally mounted aluminum assembly that removes the plate from the direct rear center line, cleaning up the tail view and letting the RS457's exhaust and rear body styling read without the plate assembly interrupting it.

The bracket is CNC-machined from billet aluminum with a black anodized finish that matches the RS457's dark undertail and rear bodywork. It mounts using two existing bolt locations on the rear subframe — no drilling required. The supplied kit includes a miniaturized LED plate light that integrates into the bracket arm, stainless hardware, and wiring extensions for the plate light connection to the factory harness. The turn signals on the RS457's factory configuration may need to be adapted or replaced with aftermarket indicators when installing a side-mount bracket; the kit includes relocation hardware for the factory signals where the mounting geometry allows it.

At $149.90, this bracket is a meaningful upgrade for RS457 owners building their bike toward a cleaner track-day or show appearance. The RS457 is a new platform (2024 onward), and the aftermarket is still developing around it. This bracket is one of the first tailored accessories produced specifically for the RS457's rear subframe geometry, reflecting a demand from US buyers for custom accessories on the newest Aprilia platform.

Confirmed fitment for the Aprilia RS457 from the 2024 model year onward. As a newly introduced platform, fitment has been verified on 2024 pre-production and production specification frames. Buyers with 2025 model year bikes should confirm that no subframe revision has been introduced before installing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it meet DOT plate display requirements?

The bracket positions the plate in a rearward-visible location with integrated LED illumination. Most US state requirements specify that the plate must be readable from directly behind and illuminated at night. Side-mount brackets that angle the plate to the side may not meet all jurisdictions' requirements. Verify your state's plate angle and visibility rules before street use.

Do I need to replace the factory turn signals?

Depending on your state's turn signal placement rules and the specific mounting configuration, the factory signals may need to be relocated when installing a short bracket. The kit includes relocation hardware. Alternatively, compact LED turn signals integrated into the bracket arm are available as an add-on for a fully integrated, clean rear end look.
