Black and silver numberplate. Should I or shouldnt I ?
Bryanj:
Very true Ken, also being a geriatric old fart the silver on black looks better to me on an "old" bike and being honest most of the bikes on here are OLD

I'm swayed by the safety aspect of a yellow rear plate.
Even in daylight the colour yellow works.
beardylondon:
Very good point!

My original yellow aluminium plate fell apart after it got bent wheeling the bike out of the workshop. The section with the P on it fell off. I replaced it with a black plate from Tippers. My bike looks older than it is anyway, oily rag condition and has a Lucas headlight and no indicators so it goes very well with the look. As far as safety goes, visibility is important. Hi-vis is very important these days.

Go for it! It certainly looks different, less offensive for some and gets the right kind of attention too. Here is my CB400F2 with one..... ;D
