Solid plastic L plates - where are they sold?

**Hack0r** · 22nd June 2011, 07:47

Hey Everyone,

So I passed my learners last week and brought a 1990 Yamaha FZR250r

But I cant find any solid plastic L plates for sale anywhere! Only the static ones people use in cages. I must have been to like 10 places looking.

Any Ideas?

I got mine from Andrew Templeton (Roadsafe) when I did my BHS. Try contacting them about it.

you could glue a static one to i piece of plastic the same size, ie a trimmed down icecream container lid. Yes it sounds cheap and nasty, and it is, but it does work if you use a good glue

Lol last resort, I'll make something ugly.. I'll try roadsafe when I get a chance. Surely there must be a retailer that still sell the solid ones

Get some yellow and black rattle cans and get creative on the rear of your helmet?

Most Rego payment shops have them, M10, repco, supercheap, supermarket, bike shops(sometimes but not often), postshop (sometimes)

Do the AA still sell them, also heard that the $2 shop have them as well.

Have you tried the el cheapo dollar stores? Normally they have them in hard back plastic

Most Supermarkets have them...$2 shpos also...
I have one here, new condition, never been used.

Now here is a reason to be wary of your riding skills, you never went through the learners phase did you ?

With flyin' colours Bill, in fact, the day I did my full, it was ment to be an hour test but after 30 minutes I was back home, Anne thought I had failed...

combining ideas from Furyos J and Spearfish glue the static one to the back of your helmet, or jacket. Given the rate at which the solid plastic ones hanging from the number plate seem to break it may not be such a silly idea. I don't know about legal though, should be, but might have the hassle of an occasional chat to

just because its unusual.

I didn't even do 30 minutes - 10 minutes was all I did before he passed me!! It is a bit of a joke really

I have my L plates somewhere in the garage - still in mint condition - they never fell off but I probably couldn't go fast enough on the old GN250 to get some wind up...

I know that Countdown in Highbury/ Birkenhead has these.

**Hack0r** · 22nd June 2011, 09:37

I went to the $2 shops, repco, supercheap, bike shops, warehouse lol all the static ones. By that stages I was like this is crazy..

AA maybe worth a look though.
