March 6, 200521 yr I'm in the process of registering the Gasser. How do you guys that ride road trials mount a number plate??? Any piccies??? Cheers in advance......
March 6, 200521 yr I created a weird and wonderful mount that bolted through the rear light and hung down, but it's A*se!!!! Rubs on the wheel eventually and wore through today. Mind you it's lasted about 8 months. Everybody uses sticky yellow plates on back mudguard. They're not strictly legal (well they're not even loosely legal) but neither was mine and theirs are much neater. I was making a best effort as I was on 9 points for a while, but sod it, I'm back down to 6 and going for the sticky yellow plate.
March 6, 200521 yr I use yellow Fablon bought from a local hardware store, buy small stick on letters & figures then stick it on rear mudguard
March 7, 200521 yr I suppose if you see a copper behind you, you could just do a constant wheelie, therefore enabling him to see your number plate??
March 7, 200521 yr Not done mine yet but will be mounting one of these under the mudguard (they weigh nearly nothing & cost Edited March 7, 200521 yr by PokenH00D
March 7, 200521 yr Right heres the cost effective way Create a text box in microsoft word type in reg no and colour the box yellow then print out (you could use yellow paper if youre posh). cut out and stick to mudguard with whatever you can see in your garage! finally water proof with something Ive used yacht varnish before!! Or you could laminate it at work (that is if you can). You would be surprised how long the varnished version lasts up to 3 months if you wash carfully!!! Ian
March 7, 200521 yr Hey PokenHOOD, are you the same guy that posts on the SM forum at visordown.com? Oh yeah Highland 950 SM Montesa Cota 315R R4 How ya doing?

March 12, 200521 yr (thread highjack!!) boofont! what towhitch have you got on your vectra? i got a sri140 saloon, and need a hitch for it, only really want a detachable one, but how does yours look? is it a big ugly looking thing? is it a goose neck one? if so, how does your bike rack fit on it? (highjack over - no need for a trip to guantanamo bay mr.bush!!)
March 12, 200521 yr I had a vectra with a Witter bar on it. Not too ugly at all, it was the wife's car, so it had to be fairly unobtrusive or I wouldn't get away with it I don't think you can fit a bike rack to a goose neck, but I may be wrong. Edited March 12, 200521 yr by bikespace
March 13, 200521 yr I suppose if you see a copper behind you, you could just do a constant wheelie, therefore enabling him to see your number plate?? Stu, thats the last thing you want to do!
March 13, 200521 yr My tow bar is a standard traditional one, not a goose neck type. The rack has a box section that bolts between the tow hitch and the main towbar brackets. To us the rack you just slide in each end of the rack and then bolt through the rack and box section.
