quick realese numberplate bracket ??
 

any ideas how i can fit a larger plate over my 9x3 just incase i need to ?

without drilling the 9x3 ....... some sort of bulldog clip? i have somthing in mind but not sure if it exsists.

apparantly there are devices that enable you to flip up and down a plate (meant to be for track use but i imagine they help avoid speed cameras!!) so you could try and find one of them, and have it so it flips down over your 9x3???

just an idea, probably a useless one!

I thought they were made by or called "RacePlate" but I can't find anything with a quick Google. Have looked into them (in a longing kind of way) in the past. They were "justified" for avoiding track day insurance snoopers but I think really "targeted" at those wishing to escape unwanted attention.

I did see one fitted to an R1 in fast bike magazine, march last year i think it was, they did tell you which company done them.

should have made a note.

yes i think the track day use excuse is a bluff, and they are actually more use for avoiding detection.

although i would have thought just having one plate on it and being up would draw a lot more attention than having it down?

They used to have similar ones on ebay too-haven't checked in a while so don't know if there still there. Twas thinking of getting one, but the flip part was manual, so needed to have a actuator or motor rigged up to it, so as to be able to flip it on the move.....:-dd

I ahve no idea why you want to do this but cant you drill the holes in the big one in the same place as the holes for the little one (youmay have to do this anyhow depending on your arrangement) and then just use the number plate srews at full length so they can either hold on one plate or two together?

what im thinking of is a springing like bracket that i can fit to the back of the 9x7 & kind of clip it on with the bracket clamping them together?

nor me? (TBH)think its cos im bored

Might be handy as im going to a police station for a bike safe thing

Re: quick realese numberplate bracket ??
 

If you are that bothered, why not just swap them over for the day.

Re: quick realese numberplate bracket ??
 

im not that bothered, it was just somthing i wanted to try to make

to swap plates would mean removing the whole tail piece & back light

the pigs are meant to ignore small plates and lound cans on bikesafe days. its all about improving rather than enforcement - thats what they reckon anyway.

Re: quick realese numberplate bracket ??
 

Just a thought but what about stick on magnets? You can then whip the big plate on the little ne in seconds:)

Re: quick realese numberplate bracket ??
 

i did think of that.....but where do you buy them? ? ? ? ? :smt017

also velcro? but it would mean sticking on the front of the small plate

Re: quick realese numberplate bracket ??
 

Any hardware store me thinks, B&Q and the like.

What if you stick some strong magnets to the back of the small plate and the back of the big plate. Then the force (Luke) should be strong enough to hold the plates together without seeing the magnets:D

this is what i was thinking of............ i think its used for displaying price cards on shop shelves?

the 2 yellow things are my plates & the red bit would act as a spring type thing holding them together?:smt017

The pigs, now thers and endearing 70's term!

Hovis, theres small plates, then theres a 9x3. id change it to be honset. Why on earth would you have to remove the tial and rear light to undo 2 bolts, plastic ones at that?

Re: quick realese numberplate bracket ??
 

And why would you want to have the huge (legal) plate behind the other one?... wouldn't that be a "obscuring the license plate" offence?

Re: quick realese numberplate bracket ??
 

What about one of these :?:

I've no experience with the Gwent Police, but on an event like you describe they are going to be more interested in teaching than booking. They may have a word to say about your plate, but I would go with the "It was on it when I got it Officer, what should it be - I'll get it sorted". If you have the two plate job you are talking about it will look more suspicious".

The coppers I met at a Bikesafe course said they are tired of scraping bikers off the road, they want you to ride better and safely. They were not so concerned with small infringments like plates and loud cans.
