My Liscense Plate is held on by Zip Ties.

The only zip ties on my bike are holding a few wires down.

Same for me... good thing being they only have 200 & 50 miles on them.

My current bike's tail fairings are pretty well ziptied onto the bike on account of the tabs that are SUPPOSED to keep em there breakin off. fuck it, they work, and I'm good with that.

no duct tape, penty of electrical though holding various things in their places.

Mine was for a while since I lost a bolt. I just replaced when I hacked my fender off after having it zip tied for about a year.

The guy that previously owned my bike lost about 1/3 of the fairing screws on the entire bike. It was all held together by zip ties....

And I hated that. First thing i did was snip those damn ties and rip the fairings off.....

I much preffer building, rather than buying on most items but am quickly learning that it's not as easy on bikes.

AMEN! I HATE buying things for my truck... I'd rather build them. though I really need to learn to weld... and get another Toyota Pickup before I start doing that again...

the X isn't for off roading... no matter how much they advertise it as just that...

Zip ties are like Duct tape, Sea Foam, and WD40... mandatory items in your garage... but like Duct Tape... mandatory in every vehicle's emergency kit
