Mine's 7 inches (oh err missus) x 5! Doesn't look rediculously small & had no unwanted attention from the sherriffs... yet!

7x5, the feds up here tell you when they are cracking down and what they are looking for! (Which is nice!!)

I just ordered mine from one of the Ad's in MCN!

If anybody in the Yorkshire area wants a custom plate made while you wait, DC motorcycles in Huddersfield have got a new machine and can produce a plate to your spec in about 10 mins.

Its a matter of aesthetics, a standard plate just wouldn't look right. The police know that as well and it is a ducati after all they know we have taste. (Just remember keep the original for Mr MOT man)

Fellas, being a local sherrif I can tell ya that if someone wants to be a twat that day they will take issue with anything they can find wrong with your machine. Speaking from experience, there are those of us that are sensible, then there are those that don't have a clue. However if your plate is the size of a postage stamp something may be said. There is also the ANPR hit squads to worry about as well.

It's the former, obvioulsy. This is why the old bill are tightening up on number plates, as the ANPR systems cannot read plates with incorrect spacing, unusual fonts, wrong sizes etc.

Yeah you're right Gilps ANPR is Automatic Number Plate Recognition. The system can read number plates at eye watering speed. It is a very good tool against travelling crims, which is why they are getting a sad on with plate sizes, but not just on bikes i might add.

The team in my area have managed to stop thounds of pounds worth of drugs and nick guys who thought they were safe driving the back water roads of Cornwall.
