Honda XL 500 S frame plate
We make in our workshop the identification plate for your Honda XL 500 S (XL500S), in the original manufacturer format, with durable cold stamping. This frame plate reproduces your exact markings (TYPE / model code, frame number, displacement, weight figures, and other mentions depending on the version). In documents and period references, it may also be called a manufacturer plate, a serial number plate or a mines plate.
Specifications
- Material: aluminium
- Marking: cold stamping (custom markings)
- Fixing: drilled plate, supplied with 2 rivets
- Regulations: compliant with French & European regulations, suitable for technical inspection and official paperwork in France (DREAL / “Mines”, and FFVE files when required).
Standard drilling
2 horizontal holes (left/right). Hole centres positioned 5 mm (≈ 0.20 in) from the edges. Horizontal centre distance = width − 10 mm (≈ width − 0.39 in).
