You can see the license plate, but it's obscured (depends on where the plate is on your vehicle, too). I live in Nevada, they don't seem to care about that here.

On the taillights: if it's a fullsize SUV/truck, I think even the NSR-6 wouldn't block the lights. The NSR-4 doesn't block them on a midsize SUV (4Runner).

Holdup works great and the hatch opens with the tiltdown no problem, even wwith both bikes and wide bars.

Is there any way to rig the NSR4 to work with a road bike. I have the Kuat NV and love it. The main reason I didnt consider the NSR4 is the inability to carry a road bike and I got a killer deal on the NV during the winter. Even though I dont travel with a road bikes very often it would still be a pain in the ass to need a second rack to carry the road bikes when needed.
