cb 500 but not to standard
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
If you are riding on the A515 towards Buxton from Ashbourne your plate will be spot on for the Bear in the Air that clocks speeders . 8) 8) 8)
I think you need to comply with Para 2 in the unlikely event that you ever encounter the Dodo that was the Road Traffic Department even then it would most likely be just a VDRS ticket!

I guess that the 'reasonably practical' test there is that if it's any more vertical it will foul the rear tyre, and/or break off against it.
My mounting is an angled piece that runs between the two indicator bolts (ie 1 inch or so long, then a 90 degree turn, then runs between the frame rails then another 90 degree turn/1 inch. The 1 inch bits are drilled and bolt to the indicator/ mudguard mounting holes), so the number plate ends up similar to yours but the mount is fixed between the two ends/ arms of the frame. Doesn't bounce at all. (It was a bracket from a gas fire that just happened to be the perfect fit).

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

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)

Nice seeing you mate. My mates dog was not :o
I would put a bridge bracket between where you have the indicators mounted. This would give extra strength ;)

Yes, still working on it.
