Is there any alternative to the Plasticwerks CR front number plate, since apparently they are out of business? I've seen the one offered by DC Plastics, but it doesn't look like the same quality. Does anyone have any experience with these? Or, does anyone have an old Plasticwerks plate they would be willing to part with? I need one for a steel frame CR500 I'm working on. Any info is greatly appreciated!

The Shop
so i have asked ufo to make some
i will have them soon....
...but if you get a few LeeRoy, let us know...a few people on here are looking for the same thing
If you can find one, the Acerbis one is more acceptable, though unfortunately not in translucent.
For detail freaks, the Plasticwerks front plate hose guide is wrong.
I heard a guy in Canada was going to make some but he is very hard to deal with.
As for the guy who owns Plasticwerks, I tracked him down last year. He still owns the business and still owns all the mouldings and machinery to make them, but doesn't have the time to run it and isn't really interested in somebody else running it. We had come to an agreement where I was going to purchase a bulk amount off him and on-sell them. That's how I desperate I was to get a Plasticwerks front plate!
But then I got a hold of one of MC's old factory Honda front plates and, at around the same time, the emails stopped coming from the owner of Plasticwerks. So the deal basically fizzled out...
The UFO is the next closest thing in my opinion. I have a few white ones. The DC plates just look cheaply made to me.
Check this out!

This should answer all the Plasticwerks/Factory USD number plate questions!
Leeroy, you should have seen this coming eh?
Thanks for finding that Keith!
Did you not read the line, (more than 10 available) ?
To get UFO to make them he probably had to have at least 100 !
Get building those USD 90's factory replicas!

Bradmx421 it's only money, you can't do anything else with it except spend it! :-)
I wonder if these are close enough in size to the Plasticwerks unit, where the same size background would fit properly?

I received a E-mail conformation, a week went by and no product, I sent a message back to the conformation address, asking about the status of my order ? another week went by and no response.
I sent another E-mail asking if they were still in business ? and again no response.
I'm also looking for someone who makes or could make one these, a 83-87 Honda Factory Fully Vented Number Plate, like this one>
When I order one of these from DC Plastic >

I suggested that they make a 83-87 Honda Factor vented number plates, and they said they did, and sent me a picture of this >

which is just a stock 81 partially vented number plate in your choice of Tahitian Red or Flash Red.
Besides the Plastic works all White vented one, does anyone know if someone else makes a all ''Flash Red'' fully vented front number plates that looks like the one in the picture above ?
PS. on a very sad note, I cant believe how F@&king returded I'm am , it took me three tries to post this , I kept clicking on another link, and erasing all that I had typed
i also have some, just waiting on getting them from the other side of the pond..
