What are the legalities behind rego plates? I have got one of them big as square plates from way back on my road bike.
Can I have the same numbers and letters professionally printed on a reflective sticker to replicate a conventional numberplate and put it on a smaller reqtangular (insted of the big square) size so that it sits on the bike nicely?
Are there dimentions that I need to meet for this or what's the deal?
Cheers!

If you 'lose' your number plate you can get a new fangled rectangular plate as a replacement (with a different rego). I think it costs $20 by memory.Originally Posted by Motoracer

hey ..
you see them ( the numbers/words) just stuck on cars.. my mate made up his own .. white back ground/ black letters/numbers.
passed heaps of WOF.. was afew years ago though...
just do it, if you get pulled over for it .. tell them you are poor student and at one of the parties someone thought it would be a good idea to burn the original.. and that was yesterday and you are on your way to the PO to see what it cost for a new one.......
what a ride so far!!!!

Yea but you know how the UK bikes have minature plates that look pretty cool? I was wondering if I could get away with one of them, here in NZ. The size I am talking about would be smaller than a mordern rectangular plate.

Unless Spudchuka or other members of the law strongly advise me not to, with reasons.

non-original plates
hey MR - us mx5 owners have this problem a lot.
it seems that no matter how close you make the plate (printed in black against a white reflective background etc), they aren't legal if they aren't the original supplied plate.
having said that, i have a vinyl plate on the front of my mx5, and have never been stopped for it.
i'd be loath to try it on a bike - as cops are LOOKING for a reason to pull you over on a bike IMHO.

Go with MrSkid. I think it'll cost you about $15 to 'lose' it.
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Im interested in knowing about this as well....
My poor rego plate is starting to fall apart... (been hit)
Its a great number so I dont want to loose it... by paying to get another rego plate number.
If I want the same one again it then becomes a personalised number plate $400 and there is no way I am paying out that kind of money.
So I would like to get another one the same.. and the same size...
So if any of the police bike members here could advise....

I bought an aftermarket fender eliminator for the gixxer from america, to narrow for our plate . I made one up and had the letters/numbers cut outa plastic and glued on, looks good and hasn't attracted attention. i would have to say i am a lucky bastard having got let off the last 2 speeding tickets
if yer get stopped and all else fails pull out yer cock and start crying .....works every time

A mate of mine made a plate from brass with white Lettering.
Had it about a month before a cop gave him a nice blue bit of paper for it.
He was pissed,but we did tell him it would happen.
on the up
I got my square number plate replaced when I went in for my warrant two weeks ago.
They told me that it had to be lost or damaged in order to be accepted for replacement.
The testing officer 'accidentally' bent the number plate so it was useless, thereby qualifying me for replacement.
You get a new plate and a holder for your rego for $8.80
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Yeah, the plate on my VFR750 got 'lost' too, because it was way too big and I wanted to cut the back mudguard down as well. Easy as pie - just go to one of the licensing places, tell them it's lost, give them the details, pay your ~$8, and there you go. Disappointingly, you aren't allowed to choose from the ones they have, as they are supposed to issue them in sequence.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....
The instructions are simple...
As a signwriter, I occasionally get asked to do this for MX5's. Cops here tend to turn a blind eye, but.....it aint legal.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Immature and proud of it.
I do the rego's at AMPS, anything other than an 'as issued' plate is illegal, even trimmed ones. A new plate is around $9.00 and vifferman is right, you can't choose your plate. Although, if it helps we're up to --WTN now.

Thanks everyone for clearing that up for me. I guess going for a new plate for 9 bucks seems like the easiest thing to do.
You guys have been most helpful. Cheers!
