Sorry, £45 per plate?? 
t one from ebay that looks sI can never remember who I ordered the last plate from so I ive ended up buying them from a number of different sellers on eBay, not much to a number plate, as long as it turns up in the time stated in the format you wanted, jobs a good 'un, eBays feedback system means it does from my experience.
I totally understand the "pay for what you get" point of view but £45 for a plate is taking that a step too far for me, a funny shape and a polished edge doesnt equate warrant that.

Now i'm usually the first to waste money on nice bits for my bikes but this i just don't get
Yes they're pricey, I'll grant you that.Now i'm usually the first to waste money on nice bits for my bikes but this i just don't get
But, they eclipse anything I've ever had from the usual suppliers, they have a flawless finish. I like that they minimize the border area to smack on legal limits and they supply a good quality invisible mount with them. Not to mention the polished edges

I’ve got an invisible mount with my £15 plate - double sided tape!!
My thoughts are these things are an ugly necessity so if I must have one dominate the back of the bike I'll have one as small as is legal and as well finished as possible and if it can have a bit of imagination spent on it with regard to shape all the better. £45 isn't a lot of money in absolute terms but for a plate it is, yes.
At least there's something for everyone

I quite like the different shapes etc. £45 seems a lot - are the adhesive fixings any good? I'd imagine the plate could vibrate off a supermoto or single cylinder bike....MrGman said:

I recently bought one from some ebay seller, nice quality with the smooth black back rather than the old 'sticky-back plastic' job, absolutely spot-on - cost £7.Biker 1 said:

They are. It's two rectangles of stainless steel with a stud welded on at one end on each. These plates are about 3.5 inches by 1 and they have pre-applied 3M pads. The welded stud goes through your fixing holes, pinch them up, remove backing tape then line up and fix your plate. Unbolt and press firmly into place and refit. Everything is stainless, nothing to rust.
