Number Plate Size

[Nick Pavey]

For when you 'show' your bike (749) what size plates do you guys have?

Have you gone for a squareish one or a 'all on one line' one?

Pics please if possible.

Thanks.

7 X 5. If the cops moan i tell them that it works on the Gatzo's as it does............3 points last year. FUK EM!

[philthy]

Tut tut....what happened to your forward observation skills?:D

[Davieravie]

i had my collar felt last year on my gixxer 1000 i had an inline plate he told me to change it asap and sent me on my way with just a slapped wrist

The law does say it should be on 2 lines. I think if its decent type font and around 7x5 you wont go far wrong!

9x3 with figures as large as possible.

Went through a number plate reader camera and it read it fine. I was given a correction notice and a slapped wrist.

First and last time I've been stopped for the number plate in 2 years. General comments are that it is smaller than it should be, but, I'm not taking the p1ss so I normally get away with a friendly talking too.

Unless you're stopped by the North Wales cops. They don't use rulers round here, they use micrometers!:o:lol:

3x2" as you will be nicked for anything less than standard round here!

I keep mine standard, I dont want the hassle of being stopped for the plate, which then goes on to the mmmm wheres the e mark on that 54mm full race Termi system. Here have another piece of paper. I got stopped on my old ZX9 which had a smaller plate, I played dumb as it was a 6 digit plate and they let me off. That bike was standard and they looked all over it so I thought keep the obvious bits standard in future. The termis look the same ish as its really only the holes at the back which are bigger to the eye.:roll:
