| I wonder if I can tap into the wealth of knowledge from the authors and bike builders, I have a GP100 I’ve been building for a while and I’ve run in to a problem. I wanted a short back end and fabricated one out of steel. Now I can’t see a way of fitting a number plate without spoiling the look.
Can any one help? | |

| You could go German and look at the wrap around style or American and mount it off the swing arm

| My pal has a Gixer 'fighter with a Speedfab aftermarket swinging arm. He's fitted a bracket and light to the left hand side a la Americane and I must admit it looks pretty cool. | |

| down to personal choice really steve built a few chops and mounted them on the side but i was forever catching them on gate posts and even ripped one off on a parked car  got to be honest ive never liked side mounted plates on cafe racer styled bikes i always think mounting them on a bracket or some kind of tail tidy behind the seat gives them a more streamlined look | |
