    no becasue they are the same size letters, if you find somewhere that does "Motorbike Lettering" then this is smaller than standard and legal reg plate lettering.
    thats how mine was done, a lad from Vitroen did mine (on the side) on a stadard plate and i just cut it down with a jigsaw. the rounded the edges off.
    
    this is mine, not the best of pics but you should get the idea
    
    
    
    sorry
