Wont be same day, but close. Ebay lad in Taunton does the flexiplate any size you want.

Halfords website says you need the V5, don't have it as its only been registered this arvo

The legal requirement for a M/c number plate is 9-7,inches

so any garage or outlet should only supply a correct size number plate...

Yes,yuo will need a V5 or the other part you should have had when you bought the bike,the same bit you taxed it with....

Actually, there is no specified legal size for the plate itself, just the size of the characters, spacing between the characters and around the edge,

so a short cherished registration number, could be on a plate much smaller than 9x7. ALthough the normal 7 character number is likely to end up around 9x7.

Couldn't the shop that sold you the bike supply one?

The police who stopped me for speeding on my Triumph in Torquay were convinced that my 8 x 6 plate was too small. I was happy for the conversation to steer away from speed limits. One produced a steel ruler and the other the rule book and they were not happy to find the size of the letters and the spacing were no less than specified in the book. Because the registration only had six figures the 8 x 6 plate was ok. Had it had the usual seven figures it would have needed 9 x 7.

The caravan at Trago Mills sells blank plates. The law requires a V5 for a made up plate but not a blank. Trago Mills sell stick on letters.
