When they recovered my motorcycle after being stolen, it had two big velcro patches where the plate was supposed to be.
There's got to be an easy way...

Ya'll realize that you can drive screws into the plastic, right? It's like 3/8" thick and hard. Working for me just fine and I had to remove that plate at least 3 times in the last 10 months. No need to engineer a space pen, NASA. Use a goddamn pencil.

Hey, Likeafox, nobody ever accused me of being smart. Crazy, yes, but not like a fox. 
I used a hole drill and opened a hole at the innermost edge of the two license plate elongated slots. I then took a ~1/2 inch long pan head slotted screw (see pic), and threaded on a washer and thin nut. I then slipped the round head of each screw through the hole I just drilled in each slot and moved it outward to the spot it needed to be when holding the license plate (around the center of each slot). Then while holding the end of the screw with a pair of vise grips, I tightened the nut against the washer. Then I placed the license plate on the remaining length of the screw, and held it down with two locking nuts screwed onto the now stationary screw. The plate sits about 1/8 inch off the rear fender due to the width of the first washer/nut, but I don't really notice. It seems pretty secure and tight.

There sure are a lot of people who are smarter than I am. Not that that's any surprise to me.
