Sure, well if the plate doesn't already have the US-standard over-under hole pattern, you can drill it to accomodate that. The light is pretty waterproof, and the only opening is well off-axis at the end of the light, where it doesn't get direct tire spray. And that has a rubber gasket. It should do well for you.
Another fact about the LD1100: they won't put out nearly as much light on low voltages. The best performance will be with non-rechargeable Lithium cells, e.g. Energizer Lithium Ultimate or Lithium Advanced, because they have high initial voltage and can maintain it through most of their lifespan. Alkaline and NiMH will not produce as much light. With alkaline, your light output will decline steadily through the life of the batteries.
(snortle) That's what SHE said!
Ooooo, what's THIS button do?
