Small number plate..... Chavy?

[j.silvs]

So I picked up my new GSXR and after seeing another sports bike with a smaller number plate on I think it looks ok.

Think this is chavy? Or ok?

Will it just be hassle from the police if I put one on?

Depends how small.

I always rode with 8x6" which is fine, looks about right from a distance, but looks much nicer than the standard 9x7".

I think the letter box ones are just a no no, and the 7x5" ones do look a bit small.

I've never heard anyone having trouble from the police with an 8x6", but I have heard about trouble with smaller sizes.

Small numberplate you ask you say. I heard N30's name

Messing with your number plate to much just gives the "Old Bill" a reason to pull you over and once they have they'll look at the rest of your bike.. ..|

I got fined for a plate similar to that and was reported to the DVLA, you will get pulled eventually.

The reason for the fine was down to the reg being of single row "letter box ones" as Dan says.

That's not my bike, that's N30's lol. I think it looks tidy. xD

Yes, but most of us have a bit of the inner chav .

Why would you want one?

If it's to avoid speeding fines or ANPR, then obviously the Police will view it unfavourably. Whether or not you're going to get pulled over for it is another matter.

If it's for bling, you're a chav.

In my opinion they improve the look of most bikes.. I think small ones are actually quite nice but I'd never go that small to keep the fuzz happy.

Tailtidy's are great aswell.

I've used 8x6 plates for a number of years, and never had a problem, never been pulled over etc.

I have a plate an inch smaller in height and width. It definitely looks better, but still kind of looks standard. I would go two inch smaller, but probably wouldn't go further than that.

Thanks for the info.

I like them cos I think they make the bike look better, hardly bling.

Will go for the 8x6

Cheers

A bit smaller is ok. Anything less imho is just shouting 'please arsey copper pull me over, measure my numberplate, look at the can, my visor then go over the bike. If you are a real arse look for the tax disc'

8x6 looks right.

9x7 looks fucking ridiculous.

[j.silvs]

I did ask shottaboi, and he said:

I put a 7x5 on mine, looks much tidier in my opinion, but I've never had any dealings with the police as regards my bike so not sure what they'd make of it. Have passed plenty of police vehicles without incidence.
