Front plates for bikes.

Gav · Post by **Gav** » Wed Sep 16, 2009 5:54 pm

I heard the other day that there was a debate on the issue of the re-introduction of number plates to the front of motorcycles. The right wing cagers were complaining that we were'nt getting our fair share of fines.Motor cycle people were arguing that the plates affect the way a bike handles. Where's this going..?

dead in the water

“The numberplate study is acknowledged in the Victorian motorcycle Strategic Action Plan, which says: ‘Frontal identification of motorcycles using decals or front number plates has been investigated and not found to be a satisfactory solution.’

I still have photos of the Black Pearl with its front plate on !! The current (OEM) front guard still has the 2 mounting holes in it......

You're not that old.....

The front number plate thing has been dead in the water for a while, now with the strategy launch and a recent FOI article in the media, it's official, of course it still cost $500,000 for them to realise FNP's were never going to work...

Just like Gos my gsx250 has the mounting holes for a front plate on its front fender.

My old dad had a bike that had the plate mounted longways around the front fender like a knife blade, S/A. rego from memory.
