When you take a taxed, MOT'd vehicle out on the public highway you probably consider yourself road legal as long as you have passed your driving test and taken out some insurance. Its important to remember that there are various other things you must do to comply with the laws of the road. One of these things is to make sure you have number plates that meet the regulations.
What this means is that you must have a single plate on the rear of your motorcycle, clearly visible, with black lettering on a reflective yellow background. The lettering on your motorcycle number plates must also be of an exact size.
Many people decide to ignore the law and get plates made up that vary somewhat from the laws laid down. Thankfully if you get caught flouting these laws the penalties are not severe so if you fancy custom motorcycle number plates it might be a risk worth taking.

Motor Bike Plate Manufacturers
Motorcycle number plate manufacturers in the UK are now legally obliged to supply plates which are legal on UK roads so don't expect many of them to be able to supply that custom number you are looking for. You're going to have to hunt a little deeper if you want to get your number plate the way you want it and the best way to hunt down a suitable supplier as quickly as possible is to get in touch with a biker who already has a custom motorcycle plate.
You've probably got some friends who ride that are already sporting an illegal plate and these guys will always be able to point you in the direction of a manufacturer who is willing to make up a plate that doesn't conform to the legal specifications.
Your other option is to go online and find a company who will supply you with a blank registration plate and a transfer which you apply yourself at home. You'll need to have a steady hand to use this technique and the finished article won't be up to professional standards but its worth a shot if you are desperate for a custom motorcycle number plate and can find a reliable supplier.
