Looked at my bike the other week... Holy shit my license plate had sheared off on the corner and was hanging by one bolt. Apparently Qld gov have gone el cheapo on the material used to make license plates now, and due to the high vibration of the 10's engine it was bound to happen. They take and take from us and cant even give us decent license plates. Qld gov for shame......

Queensland do have some warranty on plates- I'd approach them and see. Otherwise it's only $20 or so.

Warranty.. sweet thanks for the info cause i aint payin

its not just QLD lol seen numerous NSW plates with corners missing...mines about to fall off too haha looking to get some custom ones though

Ah well least im not the only one then

That's the reason i use as wide a washer as i can squeeze in at the front of the plate behind the bolt-head. Vibration is absorbed across a wider area, reducing the likelyhood that the metal will crack due to fatigue.

Lost my Qld plate that way, plus side was I ended up with a whole cool new rego
