An album with some more pics....

Best factor-in the cost of fines for a small numberplate.

Haha, true, the plan is to carry a full size spare and tie wrap it to the bar between the pannier racks if/when I feel the need!

Never been stopped for it in the UK in 4800 miles.

I like that, like that a lot Thumbs Up . Have you tried a pillion yet because it look like they will have trouble getting their feet onto the pegs with the panniers fitted?

Took the Mrs out on it today, I've had the topbox a few weeks and she loves that as she is pretty nervous about the bike and it makes her feel "safe" as she is of the opinion that she is going to fall off the back without it.

This was the first trip with her and the panniers though. It made getting on the bike a bit harder for her but she's only 9st so I just had her stand on the peg to get on. Once on, she said it was like being in an armchair.

Overall positive feedback, hopefully will make her less scared of it in future!

4800!

I got fined within 100 miles for my 8x2 dariy milk.

Sport a 8x6 now, looks better and less bait Thumbs Up .

Ouch!

This one is 9x3 so same width as standard.

Had a police car behind me at the traffic lights yesterday and was expecting to get pulled but nothing..... 5246 miles now!

It's only a £30 fine, I guess you are more likely to get pulled/fined if you fail the attitude test.
