Custom Motorcycle Number Plates - Worth The Effort
Paying someone to make you up a custom motorcycle number plate is one of the best ways to make your motorcycle one of a kind for little cash.
Regardless of whether you are trying to create a one of a kind bike for road use or you want to build a show winner, you'll find that a cool number plate enhances the finished look of your bike.
If you live in the UK you should quite easily be able to find someone capable of making up bike plates for you but these days with changes in the law it is harder than ever to find a machinist who will make you up a plate which isn't road legal.
Fortunately there are companies who can send you a home plate kit which gives you the ability to make your own. They will send you a lettering transfer and blank plate so that you can complete the job yourself by simply applying the lettering.
The reason its now so much more difficult to find someone who will do the dirty work for you in regards to number plate manufacturer is that it is now illegal to supply number plates which have the potential to be used on the public highway that don't meet the specifications set out by the DVLA.
UK companies selling plates for road use need to meet the standards or they face the possibility of being prosecuted. These legal plates are obviously nice and easy to read by the police and other road users so its not hard to understand why we are required to follow these rules.
To get a custom bike plate without making it up yourself you will have to do some searching for a manufacturer who is willing to take some risks. You also have to decide whether taking the risk of running illegal plates is worth it as a 30 fine and points on your license could be the result if you get caught. - 21392
