Use stronger sticky stuff or velcro like AK said looks much better than screws. And you don't need any brackets etc

I've seen loads of cars with number platesin windscreens, if Police pull you over just say that your going to get self adhesive stuff for it

What you need to ask yourself is, why do cars need front numberplate when bikes don't?
Question for the day.

Yes this angers me, cars can go into a front facing speed camera over the limt = £60 3points
Bike on the otherhand = no points and no fine

i havent had one on the front of mine since a week before pvs last year, been stoped 3 times, got told to put it back on twice and the other time i got a producer, if they want to be really funny the most they can do you for is a £30 fine, you cant get points

Even though I am a bike rider I find it very strange indeed that I don't need any kind of frontal identification.
