Well back in the spring I asked if anyone knew how to get a hold of a number plate like the team Honda bikes. Well since we all know its not gonna happen I decided to run a KX plate. Had to make a small bracket out of aluminum for the top clamp and remove the cable guide mount from the lower clamp (very carefull cutting) but it fits like a glove and looks better than any aftermarket plate.WAY better that the ugly stock number plate. I wont be able to mount the stock plate on again, but who cares! (See picture in my photo galery or see link below)

Ya it was kind of a pain to do but its worth it I think. Here is another pic of the front view. I was suprised how well it fit with the front fender. Had to trim some plastic off the back of the plate.See link to picture below.

Why did you do that? I don't get it? Is it a visual thing? Or is it b/c of air flow or something? What yr # plate did you run from a KX? 250? It looks good, but I can't tell from that far away what the diff is.

I did it because I totaly hate the stock Honda plate. I wanted something similar to what team Honda runs but of course its not available to the general public.There is no performance gain from it.

I have been going nuts trying to find a pic of a stock Honda plate to see what is wrong with it and finally found one. The Kawi plate does look much better. Good job.

Decal Works did the backgrounds for me. I just told them to cut the font one for a KX plate and they did it , no problem. Here is a side view.See link below.
