FAQs
What types of vehicles is this kit suitable for?
The Oxford L Plate Kit is designed for learner riders of motorcycles, bikes, and scooters. It includes versatile mounting options to accommodate a range of vehicle types.
Does the kit include everything I need to display L-plates?
Yes, the kit provides one self-adhesive L-plate, two rigid L-plates, fork connector brackets with screws, and general L-plate mounting screws, offering a complete solution.
Can I use the L-plates on both the front and rear of my vehicle?
The kit includes multiple plates, allowing for display on both front and rear if required or desired, provided you have suitable mounting locations.
How do I attach the rigid L-plates?
Rigid plates can be attached using the included fork connector brackets and screws (typically for motorcycle forks) or the general L-plate mounting screws to suitable points on your vehicle.
Is the self-adhesive L-plate permanent?
The self-adhesive plate is designed for a strong bond but can usually be removed with care, potentially with the aid of heat (like a hairdryer). However, it is not intended for frequent removal and reapplication.
What if my bike doesn't have fork connectors?
The kit also includes general L-plate mounting screws which can be used to attach the rigid plates to other secure points on the motorcycle, bike, or scooter bodywork.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Basic tools like a screwdriver may be required. The specific tools needed can depend on the mounting points available on your vehicle. Ensure you have appropriate tools for tightening screws and bolts securely.
Troubleshooting
L-plate is loose or wobbly.
Check that all screws and brackets are tightened securely. Ensure the mounting surface is suitable and not damaged. For self-adhesive plates, ensure proper application to a clean surface.
Cannot find a suitable mounting point on my bike/scooter.
Examine your vehicle for flat, accessible surfaces or existing bolt points. Consider using the fork connector brackets if front mounting is an option. If no standard points are found, consult a motorcycle accessory shop for universal mounting solutions or clamps.
Self-adhesive plate is not sticking well.
Ensure the mounting surface is thoroughly cleaned with a degreaser and completely dry before application. Avoid touching the adhesive side. Apply firm, even pressure for at least 30 seconds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Choose your preferred L-plate type: self-adhesive or rigid.
- For rigid plates, select the appropriate mounting method. Use the fork connector brackets and screws for front fork mounting on motorcycles. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened.
- Alternatively, use the general L-plate mounting screws to attach rigid plates to suitable points on the bike or scooter bodywork.
- If using the self-adhesive L-plate, ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from grease. Peel off the backing and apply firmly.
Compatibility:
This kit is designed to be suitable for a range of different types of bikes and scooters. The inclusion of fork connector brackets and general mounting screws offers versatility. However, it is recommended to visually inspect your specific motorcycle, bike, or scooter model to confirm suitable mounting points are available before purchase. Some older or custom models may require alternative mounting solutions.
Care:
- Clean L-plates with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check that all screws and brackets are tight and secure.
- For the self-adhesive plate, ensure the adhesive maintains its bond; reapply pressure if necessary.
