Pedestrian Slicer - Front Fender License Plate Installation

[enzo5000]

I haven't drilled the fender yet. I'm still deciding what letters or numbers I would put on the fender plate. Considerations are "BMW R 18", "R 18", a license plate number.

I purchased it from this outfit in Boston.

Normally it's intended to show the registration number .
If you haven't yet drilled the fender, shouldn't you locate it a bit more toward the front end ?
And sharpen it ...

And it is probably intended for a larger fender, like that by DKdesign.

Pedestrian slicer project complete. I decided I wanted it to be removable so I fabbed some strong neodymium ring magnets to hold it in place.

The magnets are a brilliant idea.
For paint protection, you have set a rubber slice in between right ?

Indeed I do. Some thin rubber washers.

Where did you source your magnets? Thanks! Looks fantastic

Also, it appears that company sells the plate as plain black? Did they put the numbers on it, or did you?

I put one on my Ural with my dads last airplane N number. 76 Yankee flys again

I put one on mine too. It has a roundel in the middle, and on the left side it says R18, and on the right side, TC... I attached it with a combination of neodymium magnets and epoxy. Didn't drill holes in my fender. I got some clear paint protection film, cut two round pieces about the size of a quarter, and stuck them onto the fender. Then put some neodymium magnets on the base of the plate, and epoxied them onto the round pieces of clear film for extra stability. If I ever want to take it off, my hope is that the epoxy will be stuck to the film and the film will just peel off the fender clean.
