    I wouldn't ticket anybody for that modification (Unless they were a complete twat and 'talked themselves into a ticket') but it is technically illegal.

    HOWEVER if I was to do it (not that I ever would or have ever done it!) I would put some form of black border on the plate to make it look 'real'.

    Yeah man, common sense at its best. Put in the same position, its the way I'd handle it.

    As for the border, thats definately the way it'll go.

    As it stands, only a semi trim occured this weekend. To do the full job, I'm going to need to spend more time in design. Pics show the diff tus far.

    ah, I see, you're wanting to trim the plate and the fender...

    There isn't any law on requiring the stupid plastic fender, and mine never stays on...

    i have had my bike for about 10 years and the previous owner made the plate himself for some reason. its not reflective, numbers are just stickers etc looks ok but u can tell its not the proper plate

    i have never had trouble getting a wof and have been pulled over countless times and have never had a problem with it. a couple of times the cops have said thats not an original plate - i just play dumb and said it was on when i got the bike. i have never been told to replace it or threatened with a fine

    Hells teeth, that goes against the odds then...what are your "get off" lines (like pick up lines to calm the rozzer down). They must be crackers
