Aluminium Numberplate

[Biker 1]

I've just butchered the back of my bike, & I fear the numberplate will probably melt due to proximity with the exhaust. I have rather badly stuck on a thin piece of aluminium as a heat shield, but think that an aluminium numberplate may be the answer. A lot of websites sell them, & claim that they are all kosher & road legal. I was under the impression that they needed to be reflective, & thus only acrylic will do.....
Any thoughts from PH??

Same here, the one on the right is an Ally plate, useful as the bolts holding the Evo-tech tail tidy aren't quite flush & could crack a plastic plate.

The yellow/lettering is printed onto it & in the OP case not sure how resilient to heat it would be but I guess better than plastic.

Thanks for the info, & nice bikes!
This outfit claim the aluminium is heat proof & they do bike plates, so may give it a go: http://www.number1plates.com/aluminium-car-number-...
