Custom plate for my DTR

[Irn-Bru]

My stock plate is a bit of a beast so I'm thinking of getting this:

8"x6"

Legal is 9x7 so it shouldn't attract attention from the rozzers.

What'dya think?

8 x 6?

Thought a better and more common size was 8 x 4?

Not sure I'm using ebay and it only gives me the following options:

9x7
6x4
7x5
8x6
9x3

Take all the text off it, I hate that big Yamaha logo!

[johnsmith222]

I agree with the YAMAHA logo looking rubbish.

If it was me, I'd have just the reg, no border, no yamaha and no bike model.

[Irn-Bru]

I like it

What about:

I wanted something on the left at least. Otherwise, I could lose the text/logo and go down to a 7x5 plate:

Another thing I just thought of is the L-plate... I have it attached to my plate usually but if I attached it to the smaller plate it'd be a big give away to the rozzers.

Ok, just made a template and measured it against my current plate and I've decided just to go with a stock plate (no text, logos or borders) in 8x6. I need a new plate anyway as mine has two holes in it from the last mount

EDIT: or maybe I should keep the border?

Looks OK with just a border, no text looks much better!

[Irn-Bru]

I like the current plate the way it is though, I think a border wouldn't look as good

I'm too picky Ah well, I've got tomorrow to think it through I guess. Defo want it plain though, dunno what I was thinking with the logos and stuff, it's a bitty chavvy

well..you could always go all out and write it on a piece of cardboard and try cruising with that
Why not just keep it the same as most? Im just puzzled as to why you wanna mod your number plate? Im probably too boring to bother

[Irn-Bru]

I just want a slightly smaller one, that's all

ah fair play, i couldnt care about the size of my reg..
I did have a "different" one on my first 125, parents got it for xmas, rebuilding and needed new plate..cba with taking documents, so they got it for me..had my name where you placed your model number.

Have you got a link for where you're getting your plate made?

What do you think to this? I like yours, but I'd say go for the one with the emblem rather than the yamaha lettering & agree with others I wouldn't bother with the text at the bottom.
