Retractable number plate.

Aware that there are rules and regulations that the police have to enforce and teetering on the edge of actually following some I thought I’d make a possibly almost legal registration number plate. Not just another bolt on item just waiting to slice into a leg or rip your manhood off! This was to be a retractable marvel. Photos attached, the grey mud flap was fitted because as usual  the plastic mudguards are too short, so aesthetics meant a mod. The flap is very flexible, and there is a Velcro pad at the bottom. The number plate I made from a file folder cover it’s black plastic and very flexible to. I considered buying a flexible reg plate off the internet but at £17+ and it’s yellow no go. The fixing is fairly self explanatory an thin elastic bungy cord is the holder and the Velcro helps keep the plate in position. When off road the plate tucks under the saddle. On the road at trials bike speeds the plate doesn’t move but I expect at Fireblade speeds it will lift off and disappear over a hedge. Also think that the plate under the saddle may direct water and crap straight into the air filter, but it’s early development. Cost £5 ish all parts bought at the Range...folder £1.99 stick on waterproof letters and numbers £2.94 sundries  out of my drawer.
