Product Information

There is no denying that a striking and legal number plate cannot be overstated. It’s not just a functional element; it’s an extension of your bike’s personality and a reflection of your passion for the open road. If you’re on the hunt for the ideal motorcycle number plate, your search ends here! We offer an extensive selection of plates designed specifically for bikes, ensuring that you find the perfect match for your prized two-wheeler. Designing Compliant Motorcycle Number Plates As a registered number plate supplier (RNPS), we use a prescribed font, and arrange the letters and numbers in a way that complies with the law. According to rules set by the Driving Licence and Vehicle Authority (DVLA), the characters on a number plate need to be a certain height and size. These are generally used for style purposes, with lots of road users preferring them over standard UK number plates. But are they legal?

Our pressed metal number plates are meticulously crafted by our skilled manufacturing team. The process involves precision machines pressing the plates to within a 1% pressure tolerance. These raw plates are then passed through another machine where hot foil is applied to the raised lettering at temperatures exceeding 200 degrees Celsius. After this, they undergo a cooling process, resulting in the exceptional durability of our German-style number plates. Why Choose Our Pressed Metal Number Plates Aluminium, and all other metals that can be used for press number plates in the UK, do not follow these guidelines. They do not maintain their shape if bent, and are not comprised of the necessary material stated in DVLA guidelines. Hybrids, including plug-in hybrids, do not qualify, and nor do low-emission petrol or diesel vehicles. Advanced Manufacturing: We use state-of-the-art hydraulic press systems to create metal show plates, pressed metal plates, and German-style number plates.Motorcycles have also played a pivotal role in the evolution of transportation, with many modern bikes drawing inspiration from iconic models ridden by legends like James Dean and Steve McQueen. If you’re fortunate enough to own a motorcycle of historical significance, you’re well aware that standard number plates don’t do justice to these magnificent machines. Fortunately, we offer motorcycle-sized vintage number plates, typically measuring 9″ x 7″. Due to legal restrictions and our inventory, we currently only provide this specific size. a)the British Standard specification for retroreflecting number plates published on 15 January 1998 under number BS AU 145d(1), Pressed number plates are legal in the UK, but only if the vehicle you're putting them on is of a certain age. Any vehicle registered after March 21st, 2001, must utilise the material of British Standard BS AU 145d. This is set to change in 2021 to British Standard BS AU 145e, a more durable material which will be standard from this day onwards.

Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of motorcycle number plate sizes. The standard size for a motorcycle number plate is 9 x 7 inches (228mm x 178mm). This size is readily available in various materials, making it a popular choice among riders. However, we understand that one size doesn’t fit all. This includes battery-electric cars, vans, taxis and motorcycles, and cars fitted with hydrogen fuel cells. Most of our plates are 52cm x 11cm, which are the standard UK number plate dimensions. These plates fit perfectly into number plate surrounds. Additionally, we sell "short" plates which are 46cm, 40cm and 34cm in width. b)any other relevant standard or specification recognised for use in an EEA State and which, when in use, offers a performance equivalent to that offered by a plate complying with the British Standard specification,and which, in either case, is marked with the number (or such other information as is necessary to permit identification) of that standard or specification.We do not produce show number plates. Only Road Legal number plates. All plates will have the correct legal spacing. However, because they are not compulsory, people can choose not to have green number plates if they wish. Additionally, another standard laid down by the guidelines demands that the material a number plate is made of must have the capacity to retake its original shape if it’s bent. Metal number plates don’t have the flexibility to achieve this. No, we don’t sell steel pressed number plates. All our German-style plates are manufactured from lightweight yet durable aluminium. Steel, being significantly stronger than aluminium, would not be suitable for our embossing machinery. Why Choose Our Pressed Aluminium Number Plates The BSAU 145d regulation has been finely gone through by our manufacturer and relevant sections have be exceeded or met, including a section specifically designed to exclude metal plates, which necessitated a subtle exclusive redesign of the metal base plate and different material to 'regular' Euro show plates, as well as altered letter tooling and lastly permanent laser marking of supplier info and maker info and the standard they are made to.
