Am thinking i will fit the carbon tail 'naked' for the moment to see how it looks and whether i like it that way, can then get it pained if i want :-)

Unlike the UK German plates hold more information, hence they are slightly larger. You have the area your from, then if you only ride the bike x amount of months of the year on the road say march to october then you have additional 03\10 on the plate, then you have the tax sticker and area the bike is registerd sticker.

Unfortunatly they are also simple pressed ally not very astheticaly pleasing

The other problem is that with a Duc the vibrations crack the plate !! mine only lasted 4K before it nearly fell off !!! now replaced with plastic UK plate wich is much better.
The 999 looks cool, as you can see from my avtar I wnt for the Breil look.
Have a good weekend

Hi, Check out my avatar. My all carbon 749s built in 2003, all body work, tank, seat unit, mirrors, heat shields, clutch cover etc etc etc all in polished bare carbon. Frame and wheels in red paint, all other decals etc just put on top of the bare carbon, no paint on the body work at all.

Looked awesome in the sun when it was polished.
