9x7 for full tends to be the 'legal' size.
I use a 7x5 with standard lettering. You asked what was the smallest plate you could get? You could get a 2x1 but I think the police might have something to say about that.

Nine by seven for a standard four and three character plate, if your plate has three and three eight by seven is legal.

[M.C]

When I looked into this it was a complicated formula of letter spacing etc., and as a 7x5 would have been illegal I didn't bother.

I believe it's a fine and no points so if you're rich run whatever you want.

Thanks or advise, I just don't want to be pulled by police

Unless they're having one of their "Need money for the summer piss up" fundraisers that they set up on common biker routes once it starts to warm up then it's almost certain no copper is going to pull you and fine you just for running a 7x5 plate.

If you also have a problem with generally riding like a nob, have a straight through megaphone can and other little things they can tot up then it'll almost certainly get added to your list when they pull you.

That said it's still a roll of the dice.

I have run 7x5 for 6 years and 9x3 for 1 year. Never been pulled or even mentioned for the plate and I've been pulled a handful of times.

I've got a 7x5 on the gsxr and an 8x6 on the triumph (thought I had a 8x6 on the gsxr and was meant to order the same size, turns out I got it wrong).

never had any issues.

I put the standard back on for mots and they resemble sails in comparison.

never had any issues from police but I never see them in suffolk anyway

Y'know, I've never really understood the fetish for dinky reg plates. I mean, given that we all need to have one to ride on the road, regardless of what type of machine we ride; does it really make any difference if if it's a gnat's larger than the legally prescribed minimum? And when the potential consequences of doing so are to attract the unwelcome attention of Plod?

I have to say when I'm out bimbling around the country roads on a summer's afternoon with a big cheesy grin on my face, probably the very the last thing I'm thinking is "Oh FUCK! My number plate's TOO BIG!"

It's a similar thing with cagers; only they don't usually go for smaller plates; they prefer to spend their cash on having one made up in Comic Sans font, perhaps in the hope of attracting PC Dribble that way.

And for Christ's sake don't get me started on personalised number plates...

I put an 8x6 on the Duc, mainly 'cos the full-size one overhung the cans by half an inch either side, and just looked a bit weird. Sounds strange but the marginally smaller plate really cleaned the lines up.

Not caused any problems so far. Might be an idea to get the dealer info transcribed into the bottom of a new plate though. I deliberately didn't, and though it looks cleaner, it's a dead giveaway.

As an aside I got out the CBR while the Duc was in for service last week, and one of the first things i noticed was how massive and unsightly the (full-size) plate was.

Mines mounted right down under the seat as well, not sticking off the end near the brake lights as usual. Not even attracted any attention from it either.

Not to my knowledge and it has certainly never been an issue when plod are right behind me.

When the suspension is under load, the plate kind of drops a little out of sight when you're behind, you can't quiiiiiite read the bottom half of the plate
