Any chance of a picture, Ive avoided crossing between the indicator holes in case it catches the tyre. 33

60. Fixing of registration plate
(1) (a) Where a vehicle has been so designed that a space has been provided for the fixing of a registration plate, the plate shall be fixed in the space so provided. ( Where a space is not provided the plate shall be fixed in the manner specified in paragraph (2). (2) Subject to paragraph (3), a registration plate shall be fixed vertically or, where that is not reasonably practicable, in a position as close to the vertical as is reasonably practical at the front and rear of every motor vehicle in such manner that the characters of the registration mark shall, at all times, be visible from the front or the rear of the motor vehicle. 34

Could you fit a bracket on the inside of each of the indicator bolts & attach them to the B&Q strips to improve overall rigidity?
Maybe, still working on it. The plate bracket seems a long way off a vertical number plate mount for some level of legality. Not sure what the law is, Ill google it. 35

I had a little ride up to Graham and Julies place today, got a nice cup of tea and stole some some rare parts, thanks mate.
Also had a look at the number plate mounts on their mongrels. Im not keen on side mounts and did not cut the back end off my bike in the hope of coming up with something. So on the way back I had a mooch round B and Q and bought some angle brackets. I think this will work but might end up using the brackets as templates for something more substantial. I dont think they will flex/bend but they might be a bit "bouncy. (already had the light/plate mount) [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] " 37

Moving along nicely. Only real issue has been lack of parts which is stretching the budget somewhat.
Im pressing on with the 550 clutch conversion but its been "challenging". 42
