Title: Cruiser Race plate suggestions
Post by: tfi_friday on May 20, 2017, 02:20 AM

Hi,

Got it into my head to add a race plate to my Kuwahara 24. I've only done freestyle builds before so I'm not really up to speed on what options there are for number plates, even less so for cruisers that don't look giant on the bars.

The bars Kuwahara cruiser, quite a low rise.

I must confess, I've murdered a few plates over the years by cutting the bottoms off to make cruiser plates  :-X

What Steve said....... Although there were/are specific cruiser plates, they don't often appear nowadays. If you look at 80's pics, loads were butchered (Steve style) to fit. Just a tad expensive to do that now.  :-\
