Pressed metal plates

[chris.marshall]

Evening all, after finding someone who makes the old style pressed metal black and silver plates with the border. I’m fully aware they aren’t entirely legal but I’m willing to take the gamble, just seem a nightmare to find someone who will make them for a 2016 bike. I’ve attached the exact look I’m after

It says they want a V5 copy to make a plate. Any issues and is your plate smaller and bordered like the pic?

Just do a search for show plates and you'll find a Jersey company that will supply

Why would you want to run one on the road?

They look st and you will be a magnet for any traffic plod, are you really that desperate for attention

[chris.marshall]

Always one troll response after attention

This is the correct answer - we could even be troll twins

I love that he describes them as “not entirely legal”, no OP, they’re not legal at all.

I think is was 6x6 and no issues at all with year.
They want front page of the log book showing document number and VRM then your driving licence to prove address.

And it’ll still be illegal each to their own mind....

A bit hypocritical seeing as you seem pretty keen to draw attention by fitting an illegal plate.

Looks lovely

I think they compliment the retro look perfectly.

FWIW I would " take the gamble" too.......Hell, I might even venture out this weekend, exceed 75 Miles....Per...Hour, Cross a solid white line and pull a Wheelie

Your choice, either way

Edit to add . obviously I'm joking ...I'm far too nesh to contemplate any of the above

Apparently, posting a URL to a fictional website which contains a word starting with 'd' and rhyming with 'rick' is wholly unacceptable and worthy of deletion by the moderators.

So instead I'll just say that it looks st, which appears to be the accepted way of phrasing it.

Looks are a matter of taste. To my eyes, silver and black looks better than reflective yellow and black any day of the week. I'd have them on all my vehicles if it were legal, which I'm fully aware that it's not. Are you just saying it looks st because it's illegal? What if silver and black plates were mandatory? Would you still say it looks st and hanker after yellow reflective plates? I think not.

I recall having an interesting conversation with a gentleman who put similar plates on his Sagaris. His view was that its a very occasional £40 fine and he likes the look.

[LiquidGnome]

Looks nice.

I've been in front of many police cars with an illegal plate and I've never had a problem.
