curved number plates
« on: 02.07. 2010 10:16 »
Guys help me out please
Im trying to get some curved number plates to fit the radius of my mudguard
its a deep valanced one with a number plate on each side
I ordered a pair from framptons but the radius is too big
they would be ok on top of the guard but they look s**t on the side as the curve is all wrong
I telephoned them and explained and they were most unhelpfull I even sent an original plate frome the bike
but apparently they cant do it
does anyone know who can ???

You could try Pollards (01909 563310), they make sets but I don't know what curveture, also Chestnut (0151 9246480) and Tippers (01726 879799)

My Flash I had in the Sixties sported white stick on letters on the front ( shallow valance) looked OK on a Black bike
Good luck
All the best - Bill
1961 Flash - stock, reliable, steady, fantastic for shopping
1959 Rocket Gold Flash - blinged and tarted up  would have seizure if taken to  Tesco

I cant recomend Framptons as they told they could do them but they are no where near the correct radius
and wont refund the £32 i paid
so as a word of warning to all
DONT use Framptons

From Tippers website....

Quote
Aluminium 'blanks' for non-standard size CURVED front plates can be supplied for self cutting to required shape and then returned to Tippers for embossing, or alternatively, upon receipt of template, a surcharge will be payable for the extra shaping involved, e.g. this applies to Triumph front number plates which fit a curved chrome frame.
