    If you're in Cork, Monplate in Carrigtwohill turn out quality work. It's all they do, and they make a good living from it.

    Otherwise go to your local signwriter and discuss what you want.

    Pretty sure you're not allowed put slogans on number plates but the old gem "sure it was on it when I got it" can be used. In fairness if all they have to be worrying about is a bloody number plate then it's a crime free world we're living in!

    Himself had a number plate on his last R1 about the size of a dvd case (in fairness it was actually on it when he bought it) and he only got asked once about it, told the copper it was on it when he bought it (he was stopped within a week of buying the bike and still had the receipt in his pocket) so the copper just left it there and he got no more hassle about it.

    Had "wannabe gixxer " on me bandit numberplate and it was a fairly small numberplate aswell. Was told to put a normal size one on it, never said anything about wannabe gixxer. Never changed the number plate either.
    The numberplate I have on me gixxer is fooking tiny. Barely see the yoke meself. Put a normalish sized plate on it just incase.

    The smallest legal size for a bike is half the width and height of a car/truck 'square' plate, 170x110mm, or about 6.5x4.5 inches in old money

    Seeing a bike going around with a truck plate on it always gives me a laugh...

    18. In the case of an identification mark exhibited on a bicycle, an invalid carriage or a pedestrian-controlled vehicle:-

    (a) any of the dimensions prescribed in paragraph 5, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17 of this Schedule may be reduced to an amount which is not less than half of the amount so prescribed



    (Before anyone says a motorcycle isn't a bicycle, see Schedule 1 of this )

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Please let the zombie thread die in peace.

    I am pretty sure the OP is sorted with a number plate after 18 months.
