he'll post dimensions soon enough..

don't assume every state license plate is the same size, they vary somewhat.

No I'm not making them.  You can buy them at any TX motorcycle shop.

Not to be a killjoy, and the question has been brought up earlier, but a Virginia state safety inspection sticker will DEFINITELY NOT fit on the plate in the above photographs.
Yep, what he said. Go to any HD shop and get the right thing, also Winchester Motosports had them in SS, they work great on left side behind the peg platform or rearsets, but what do I know. - Gene

P.S. All that said, still a better solution than wrapping the damn sticker around a fork leg!
AMEN to that!!!  [thumbsup]

i don't like putting stickers on the fork, they are a pain to remove.

i'm not sure but i think you might ahve that wrong, it looks like the tx plate is the same size as the VA plate or there abouts.  remember the posting above shows inches and metric on the tape, i think when you said the tx plate looks like" 9 inches" you meant around "9 cm" big difference.

i'm not sure but the exact dimenions of the black portion and the va instpection sticker has to be compared better again.  I think the VA inspection sticker "might" just fit on that black portion possibly.

Here are DC's sticker dimensions, which are a bit too wide for that plate.  Is VA's too tall?





If I get pulled over, can I just point to the nub on my left fork where my aluminum plate got sawed off and stolen?  When I later got an inspection in DC, the inspector didn't know about the missing plate but handed to me the paper with extra stickies and said, "Here, if you find a good place for it, then go right ahead."  Will I get into trouble for keeping the sticker on top of the mapcase (w/garage remote and toll tag) that is with me at all times and therefore cannot be stolen from the bike?
