Honda Rubicon 500 & 520 License Plate Bracket: Rear 4x7 Mount Guide
If you need a clean way to mount a license plate on a Honda Rubicon 500 or Rubicon 520, a model-specific rear bracket can be a much cleaner solution than drilling bodywork, using zip ties, or adapting a universal clamp-style mount.
Elite Engineering's Honda Foreman, Rancher & Rubicon License Plate Bracket is designed for compatible Rubicon 500/520, Foreman 500/520, and Rancher 350/420 applications and holds a standard 4x7-inch OHV or motorcycle-style plate.
Why the Rubicon 500/520 Benefits From a Dedicated Plate Mount
The rear of a utility ATV is already occupied by the rack, suspension, bodywork, grab bar, bumper, and accessories. That can make it difficult to find a clean place for a license plate without improvising.
A dedicated rear-facing bracket gives the plate a rigid mounting surface and keeps the installation close to the machine instead of hanging from plastic or relying on a generic clamp.
What the Elite Engineering Rubicon Bracket Does
The bracket is made from anodized aluminum and is designed around compatible Honda rear-frame mounting points.

How the Rubicon 500/520 License Plate Bracket Installs
Installation is straightforward and can normally be completed with basic hand tools.
- Compare your Rubicon's rear mounting area with the product photos.
- Position the bracket at the compatible rear-frame mounting location.
- Install the supplied mounting hardware.
- Attach your 4x7-inch license plate to the bracket.
- Check clearance around the rear rack, suspension, bumper, and accessories.
No drilling or cutting is required on compatible applications.
Why Choose a Model-Specific Bracket Instead of a Universal Mount?
Universal mounts are designed to work on many different machines, which often means additional clamps, adapters, or improvised mounting locations. A bracket designed around compatible Honda rear-frame mounting points can create a cleaner installation with fewer extra parts.
Check Rear Accessories Before Ordering
Rear-frame, grab-bar, bumper, and accessory configurations can vary by model year and setup. Aftermarket storage boxes, bumpers, racks, or other rear-mounted accessories can change available clearance.
Before ordering, compare your Rubicon with the product photos. If your rear setup looks significantly different, contact Elite Engineering so the mounting location can be checked.
What Size License Plate Does It Hold?
The bracket is designed for a standard 4x7-inch motorcycle or OHV-style license plate. The compact plate size works well on an ATV and keeps the finished installation neat behind the machine.
Does the Same Bracket Fit the Rubicon 500 and 520?
The product is listed for compatible Rubicon 500 and 520 applications. The current product listing covers compatible Honda applications from 2000 through 2027, but individual rear-frame and accessory configurations can vary, so compare your machine with the product photos before ordering.
