Not to hijack this , it's a closely related subject: who knows if it is legal to trim the edges off their number plate? I saw a bike the other day (Hayabusa IIRC) and he had reduced the overall size of the plate by ....at a very rough guess... a couple of cms in length and a cm in height. The numbers were still the same size of course, and it looked very very neat and tidy, a surprisingly good look I thought. Might do it myself if it not gunna cause problems with WOFs

Kerry, i've done this to my plate, just used tin snips and cut round the edges of the plate, mainly cause it fell off (really it did) and got caught in the rear wheel and swingarm brace, it's small and my ones so filthy you cant read it, and plus i cant be arsed doing runners all the time by not using a plate at all, some rides it comes off though.

But in terms of legitmicy i'm pretty sure you're not allowed to modifie the plate in any way, when i get told off i'll get a new one, if they catch me that is

Nope, not legal. As explained to me by an Officer of the law who was a bit bored.
Never got a ticket for it in 4 or 5 years though.

saw one the other day,.... it was tucked in by his rear shock!!!!!

sure it was on his mud guard... but at the start of it ... not the end....

[bugjuice]

mine.Damn, I love my bike..

I've seen/know people who have their plate right down near the rear shock, shagged ta hell. Also know people that have lost their plate *ahem*, and have scrap sprayed up it *ahem* or have been scrubbing too hard that the black paint of the numbers and letters have gone *ahem*.. more trouble than they're worth, those damn plates.. it's tagging people, that's what it is..

Yeah, in the great tradition of "I'll say it was my mate so that I can avoid responsibility for admitting that I might just be a little closer to this story than I'm letting on"...

I've got a mate who is currently running their fairly quick sportsbike with no plate. And in the last few days has had occasion to up the ante on 4 occasions to avoid unwanted taxation. Admittedly 2 of 4 were kinda in the "asking for it" category - in fact "begging" was more like it. But my mate has decided that the rising fuel consumption, combined with the riskier maneouvres that seem to become more frequent with the lack of accountability that running no plate provides, it seems sensible that my mate goes home tonight and reattachs the plate... and continues to work on the tilting mechanism

My mate assures me that runners are great fun if you're in the mood, but damn inconvenient if you're not.

IS that a personalised plate or your graphical genius?

Funkyfly has a fucken good plate setup on his Gixxer. Sensei may have a pic. Also, the wicked quick guy from the Litre Crew (you know who I mean) has a good one too if I remember rightly. I wasn't paying too much attention, just trying to stay on the road chasing him.

[Quasievil]

Every Sportsbike I saw in the States recently had the plates stuck up by the rear shock, looks cool as, just have to ensures its visible.

Saw a gixxer last week with the plate mounted on its side on the right swing arm, it didnt make the bike look any better, it looked fucken stupid.
