    Doesnt Have to be under the numberplate ,,but my mates one recently came off his xt125 and we just put some superglue on the top edge and stuck it to the bottom edge on the back of his no#plate.... Worked a treat :)

    we made a L shaped bracket with a bit of plate out of alloy and fixed it to the rear shock mounting lower bolt.

    Youre meant to drill two holes that line up with the bolts on the number plate and put it in between the numberplate and the mudguard if that makes sense

    ..or just get stick on ones lol

    either drill 2 holes near the plate bottom and use bolts, super glue or double sided tape should do the job

    or if theirs enough mud gaurd on show fix it to the with nuts and bolts! better still do as a girl does best and chat up a guy too do it hehe, honestly guys roll over backwards to help biker chiks!

    show a pic of the back of your ped

    lol cant imagine a teenager on a big scooter like that lol
    yet alone a girl teen, that yamaha looks massive lol
    anyway Sticky L plates usually end up in the road just like car magnet L plates
    ill try explain
    but i think your best way is to buy a thin L plate and glue it
    unless your ok with making 2 holes (will never come off) f_581289_2.jpg option 2

    if you dnt like drilling holes
    or are worried
    go for option 2
    but to be honest if you just go to a local ped shop and ask them to do it for you
    i think they will just do it for free for ya

    better off drilling the holes in the strip along the bottom of the number plate, that way the L plate will take less road flack and be protected by the lower section of the rear mud guard. It'll last longer that way and stand a better chance of staying attached

    very true
    just trying to think how to make it easy for her though
    but their is still mudguard under the plate
    or just stifk a but of plastic on the ped and if you get pulled over tell police it come off
    ive never used a L plate and been ok so far
