Use stronger sticky stuff or velcro like AK said looks much better than screws. And you don't need any brackets etc

What you need to ask yourself is, why do cars need front numberplate when bikes don't?

Question for the day.

Yes this angers me, cars can go into a front facing speed camera over the limt = £60 3points

Bike on the otherhand = no points and no fine

Even though I am a bike rider I find it very strange indeed that I don't need any kind of frontal identification.
