Getting a Custom Motorcycle Plate
If you are wanting to make your motorcycle look one of a kind you should try to get someone who can make you a custom number plate.
It does not matter if the bike you want to make is going to be a little different from others, but if you are wanting to get a show winning monster then a hot number plate is a good addition as any.
For people in the UK, finding a garage that makes up these lovely customized number plates is easy. They used to charge a small fee for this, but the latest changes in law have made this process a little harder.
You can still find companies online that sell custom plates, but in these cases you have to finish the plate yourself as they only send the kit. They give you a blank number plate and transfer request papers so that you can apply. Sounds easy enough, but at the end you are never completely satisfied.
The reason getting these custom plates has become so much harder is because of the new laws which say that supplying motorbike number plates not complying with DVLA standards is illegal.
The companies in UK that sell these plates face prosecution as per this law if an illegal plate they produced is found on road by the cops. The plates that are produced legally are much easier to read than the custom plates and this explains why the situation has become such, but people still want to have the back of their bikes representing their style.
After knowing all this, if you still are desperate to get a custom number plate and are not interested in using any of the home kits, then you have to look for a custom plate maker who is willing to take his chances with the law. You must also remember that if you get caught you will be facing a small fine as well as a few points from your license.
