Well in India its compulsory to have a number plate on the front and rear of the bike. The company does provide a bracket to accommodate the rules but the front license plate is certainly not on the good looking places of the bike so what then ?

Well there are various bonneville number plate options available, we are trying to list some of the few possible places where they can be put. There may be further customised for sizes, shapes and location but more or less this is what is being done.

Road Transport permissible ones are the ones that conform with the location, colour and size guidelines.

1. Standard above the headlight :The location is right above the headlight. Perfectly visible and confirming to the laws. There is not much the cops can complain about in any state that you visit. Size is certainly a restriction and even though looks are a matter of personal preference but it just kills look when its placed there.
2. Classic on the fenders : These can be done in a few ways. The one where the registration number is not visible from front but the sides and the ones where the registration is visible from the front placed on the similar fashion only facing differently .
3. Retro an in front of the rectifier : Well this position does have it looks. No doubt about it. Infact most custom bikes sold in India by the dealerships or otherwise place the number plate in this location. It does come in front of the rectifier so make sure enough space is left of the air to flow. The space would be determined by the size of the pate. We sell this number plate for bonneville online. Check it out. 
4. Slick sticker/paint job of the fender : Well it does look nice in most cases and is the easiest way if you want to just have it there as a reason to be following the laws ( at least partially )
