    Just had my bike MOT'd and it passed ok even though size is smaller than the piccy in the first post.

    Bike is pre-2001 so no company name or BS.

    Police even had a good look at the rear of all our bikes on the UK side of the Channel Tunnel this weekend and only commented on some heat shield cladding dangling from bottom of Ro's Ninja.

    As I have a pre-2001 bike and should at least try not to attract the interest of pissy traffic cops, you can put my name done for one.

    Are the screw holes done to me to do ?

    No worries mate pm me your details... Screw holes are left for you to sort out as they are all different, but easy to sort out. I used the old plate as a template and 4 or 5 mm drill if memory serves me right

    Plastic number plate screws require a 7mm drill. Mark the plate where you want to drill and use a 3mm bit first to make a pilot hole, turning really quickly, and then follow with the 7mm ROTATING BACKWARDS REALLY FAST - honestly, that way it'll melt its way through and won't snatch the material and crack it when it finally gets through like it would if turning the normal way - same goes for drilling mounting screw holes in fairing screens too [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
    If you don't believe me, do it the normal way and curse when it cracks it.... then decide whether to buy another plate/screen :
