So I have a 1200 triumph scrambler of the 2019 vintage.

If I put a legal sized silver on black metal number plate on it what's the chances the fuzz will be bothered ?

I don't ride in large towns city's and the bike does look kinda old to the un educated, the only give away is the plate it self.

I'd like to do it for purely aesthetic reasons but not if its going to cause me hassle.

Anyone done it, had any issues ?

Think it'll be area of the country dependent, if you put a cheap old private plate on it you'll never get any hassle though.

hmmm just found they do stamped metal ones in yellow black ground with black letters this may be a better solution, the stock acrylic one is beginning to de laminate anyway so that's probably the more sensible route

You’ll almost certainly not have any bother but you do need to make sure everything else is ok as a grumpy plod could use it as a jumping off point for a nit picking exercise.

the bike is stock so shouldn't be an issue tbh I think I'll go down the yellow black stamped plate route

I also had this thought for my Triumph 900 but decided against it,

I think black on yellow stamped metal is the best compromise

Keep the old one. As according to "a friend" winkwink you may need it once a year for MOT time.
