Even if you can get it registered with the number plate as the part covering the rear tyre it is NOT legal to ride it like this
I've found through experience that when dealing with the Police that they have different interpretations of any given rule. A lot depends on what sort of day they are having and your attitude to them.I've had some experience dealing with engineers for modified cars and I think it's always best to talk to one and outline your plans before you go ahead so that you know exactly what they will and won't allow.Good luck with your project.
I remember getting a 1969 CB250 "defected" for excessive noise by an officer who in conversation said-"I don't care if you have a current RWC its too loud-I could hear you from 1/4 mile away....you cant ride it til its fixed..."
This is what I was speaking of and some places will allow it for a pink/blue slip BUT the police are happy to defect the vehicle as it does not comply with regulations.

Back in the day as we Oldies like to say, I always had modified cars and bikes which always had louder than stock exhaust systems. The local Coppers were forever pulling us over for a vehicle check, which comprised a quick look at the tyres and sticking their big size 12 boot onto the accelerator to check the exhaust noise.Invariable they would say that's too loud, get it fixed and report to the Police Station within 7 days. No problemo....I had a piece of aluminium mesh that I used to roll up and insert into my tailpipe with a broom handle. It always passed their inspection and about 24 hours later it would start to come out of the exhaust pipe so that I could grab it and remove it completely until the next time.
