Apart from the fact the gap should be 6 thou or whatever the metric equivalent is!

Just been through this post - I like what you have done to the bike it looks really cool a nice mix of modern & classic DNA- the taped manifolds is this to help with heat dissipation? Nice sound on the video.
Lastly I like the B&W plates but as an ex-copper can't see why you think they are legal unless you motor was first registered before January 1973.

They have changed the rules, anything in "Historic" tax class may use black

Pleased to hear that traffic was ever my forte plus I've been retired from fuzz for 17 plus years.
I will be ordering a rear B&W rear plate - does it also mean I could mount a knife blade front plate - I always liked the look.
Bryanj:
I dont think they were ever banned, just removed to save pedestrians
