Black Number Plate

Probably depends on local police I have a mate with a black plate on old style Triumph he rides in Cheshire and also recently IoM without any issues. Worst case is a 30 quid (maybe it's gone up a bit) fine

 

100 quid ! well it was a few years ago I was threatened with 30 quid fine for illegal plate
it was excessively small though..

I have been stopped by police (without any charge) with a 7 x 5 plate and they never mentioned it.

I reckon go for it !

 

Can think of a lot better uses of £100.......

 

Black plate is just asking to get pulled. Slightly smaller, not easy to instantly recognise, so you'll probably get away with it.

Personally, never felt the need to alter anything. We have to run with one on, same as every other vehicle on the roads.

If we got away with it, think what the scum would get up to!

 

Fourdot make nice plates that are down to the legal minimum in terms of dimensions. Beautifully finished although not cheap.

 

According to MCN police in Wales are having a purge on illegal number plates and exhaust because of the rising death toll on their roads. Not sure how a small number plate made anyone less safe but hey ho.
So if you're heading that way stick your legal one back on.....
Or avoid the area, which is probably their plan on how to reduce their accident statistics.

 

I think built before the 1st of Jan 1974 is the current law
Can't stand lawbreakers hope they throw the book at ya

 

They're fecking quick for 60 bhp plods got no chance

 

I run a black plate with silver on my Moto Guzzi V7, it is also 4" x 7" and over 3 lines so completely not right lol, never had any grief from Mr Plod

 

At least mine is legitimate 75 trident and the added bonus of free tax and no MOT.
