how do I fit a black metal number plate to my motorcycle?
Athame57:
I just got a black metal number plate through the post for my CB400F2 and stuff the law lol. But it's got no fittings, is this going to be difficult or is there an easy way? My bike is at this time in a workshop having things done...
Nurse Julie:
Pop rivett it on but put a couple of foam pads behind it to stop it rattling.
Orcade-Ian:
Unless it’s a very late registered one, it should now be legal anyway if it’s Historic class. If you have the original plate and it was fitted on the same holder then you could use that as a template and drill through into you new plate. As Julie says you could pop rivet it on but I personally prefer to use small Phillips head machine screws with nylon nuts in stainless.

I didn't want to drill mine so use this., I just put it all over the light bracket.
Make sure you degrease both if you use it .

And also make sure your light bracket is perfectly flat..
