So dude have you really never had any bother with that rear L plate ?

craigbulmer · Guru

absolutely none m8.

police have walked by my bike parked, been behind me, fingers crossed, nothing so far

Seiki · Admin

Cuase i was just looking at your pics again and technically theres not much difference between the two , they pretty much dont show it to the rear lol

If I get points you're paying the fine lol

craigbulmer · Guru

lmaooo

yeahhhhh, always blame someone else :P
just get your test done and you can be away with the barstards :P

Seiki · Admin

Oh yeah forgot to tell you , i was Googling everything about L plates the other day ... and IT IS legal to cut the corners of the sticker .

i read it on a police forum and most of them didnt even know it's allowed , but only the corners , how much isnt stated .

So technically you can get the sticker to fit right

craigbulmer · Guru

is there anything that says it HAS to be below the number plate??

oh right klkl! well il get a new one at some point and cut it down to fit properly, il try and find out how much i can take off, mine is really crappy put on, its got winkles lol

Seiki · Admin

No it doesn't HAVE to be under the plate it just has to be at the most vertical position facing the rear , and usually the only place is under the plate or on the swingarm . The two gayest places ffs .

Mind you mine looks better on the swingarm than under the plate

craigbulmer · Guru

heres a good view of one on the swingarm of an SM, well ive already thought of an excuse for my L plate being up there, i live down a lane and a hummer H2 lives nextdoor, and he goes down it day n night at 30ish, most people do about 5 lol, and its got loadsa pot holes, and my b4 snapped off lol

.... · Guru

mines looks better in the bin hahahaha to you all i dont have to use them

yes i know you hate me lol

Seiki · Admin

Rub it in !!! lol

That looks cool but it's cut down right ??

Seiki · Admin

craigbulmer · Guru

hahaha yeah dont rub it in much, i might come up to your house in the night, and cover your bike in L plates for that!!!!

it looks slightly cut down, can clearly see the white around the L, probably follows them rules you found a little bit lol

craigbulmer · Guru

i love the back of your bike, goes up so high!!!!!
might have to get a new rear fender like yours!! looks well good!! although you would see all the mud under mine haha

L plate looks better like that, you wouldnt be able to see it on your rear fender :/

.... · Guru

i might put one on mine,i feel left out lol

craigbulmer · Guru

haha git :P

Seiki · Admin

hahahahaha

It's all about L plates around here man , CBT's ONLY !!!! lol

Yeah the HPrires rear is quality , gave it the rear lift look without a riser kit lol

craigbulmer · Guru

haha people on L plates only!!!!

yeah!! does it go straight on? can you just take a random pic of underneath, you know how the frame extends out to most of the rear fender, i have my tail tidy pressed underneath it so i can just less screws on top, see if it still works lol

Seiki · Admin

Its a pity you have to cut the frame rails to fit that YZ style fender as its a bit of a big step, perhaps MS you could try painting your exposed rails black and seeing how well they are disguised?

.... · Guru

i had one of those yz fenders on my dt and it fitted fine with the rear rail on too, look much better than standard too

.... · Guru

heres a pic

craigbulmer · Guru

did it give it a nice angle gaz??

probably buying one now :)

.... · Guru

it was just the same as standard really but made it look alot nicer by far

Seiki · Admin

i think its cause your seat is stopping it from bending upwards mate , mine did that

trust me mate it's really not that bad when you see it in person . I remember not wanting this rear becuase the gaps looked too big etc .

but I'm going to try and suss something out , when it's up and running I might get the two rear bits cut off

craigbulmer · Guru

seiki, if gazs standard seat kept it down to standard, what did you do to your to get it like that? looks awesome :)

Seiki · Admin

My seat trimmed mate , when my pics return ill show you in my thread . Its cut shorter so the fender fits perfect . Was lucky actually should have waited till i had the fender lol .

craigbulmer · Guru

haha yeah, how much did you cut off? yours looks really flat at the back, ive just got a new seat cover and ive managed to get it completely winkle and mark free, dont mind taking staples out back n couple of inches forwards, is that okay?? dont wanna take it off and put it all back on again lol i like how flat your seat is :)

whats up with your pics?

Seiki · Admin

Look at this guys pics , this is how i did mine . My photobucket things fecking about mate
