R18 Classic
I intend to take the R18 Classic to France, so I need a UK sticker as it doesn't have UK on the number plate.
Can you just stick them on the soft luggage (see picture of the sticker on the HD) or will it damage the material? Is there a better solution?

I don’t believe the adhesive on the sticker will damage the pannier’s material to be honest. If you peel them off, they should come off cleanly. I was going to suggest to have another number plate made with the UK sticker on since they relatively inexpensive and can get delivered within the week but I saw your latest post whilst I was typing

A hair dryer set on hot will remove them cleanly, providing you be patient.

I think your only option will be to get a new number plate with the UK initials/flag given Phil’s message. I can recommend JDM Plates as a good company. I used them in the past and they never disappointed me. They even do the smallest legal plate in the UK and will send you a certificate of compliance which is a credit card size and I have it in my wallet.
