Building 2 very low budget bikes right now, both have provisions for a number plate on them, and of course both are missing the original plates.
Ebay seller Stokerace out of NJ is good enough to sell 2 plates for about 5.25 shipped that are intended for Kart racing, that's pretty much the cheapest I saw for them anyway.
But once they arrived I realized they are kinda big/out of proportion for the mini bike. So I just looked again to see if I could find something smaller, well anything else starts to get pretty pricey at least from what I have seen, plus what would I do with the ones I just got other than maybe use them for bondo mixing boards :shrug:
So I figured I would just cut them down and see what happened I thought an oval might be cool, but how :shrug:
Found this oval baking bowl in the kitchen :thumbsup:
Other tools needed, some cutters that will cut the plastic, something to trace with (I used a sharpie, even against the black it was visible enough to use), a steady hand, and some sandpaper.
first one I cut on the left I went close to the edge on 2 sides thinking it would be easier, the plate has a raised lip so it was actually harder to cut and my shape is not dead on in a spot from it. So just center the pattern if you do this, I did a rough cut first and then did the final trim and it was very easy (other than the edge as stated) took the sandpaper and smoothed the edges out.
Covers the hole and only cost me $2.62 per bike :thumbsup:
