number plate dilema

[Chadatious 0]

some of you may know i have a mini plate, well i want to take my baffle out as bike actually ran nicer, and sounded nice. but i dont want an illegal plate and no baffle, one or the other just to stay safe and not very illegal.

i have a small show plate, whats not tiny but the writting is.

i also have a standard 9x7.5 intch plate, that looks massive!

however looked online for legal plates and found a 7x6.5" plate but it says its legal, think its because the writting is still legal size unlike mt current so would it be legal to use one of these?

the only way to really be safe is go fully legal and get a bike garage to make you a plate, showrooms normally do them and some halfords do

Police would likely notice your plate before anything else, usually they don't care about loud pipes

It depends on how the cops are where you live. Where I live in Cheshire, and commute to Derbyshire. The cops are pretty bad around here. I had my plate measured three times last year.

Most of the lads I know were fined last year for small plates.

So I had a legit plate (9x7) made with a blue GB sticker on the side. so the yellow part looks smaller than standard but totally legal

got a smaller one on the bandit, doubt a smaller one on the busa would make a difference to its fat arse.

Yep, got a 7x5 on my Triumph, had the same on nearly all my bikes and never had a pull yet (Kiss of death!)
