Number plate advice

Hello all,

I know the issue of plates has come up a few times, but I can't find the answer I'm looking for.

I am looking at getting a road legal number plate and would like to get a pressed aluminium plate ideally, but want to get the smallest size I can.

I am aware of some of the regulations, but wondered if anyone can shed any light on the type to use for a "period" looking plate.

My bike was born in 1976 if this helps.

I was looking at one of these, but think it might be too big??

what type/size of plates are you guys using for similar aged bikes and where is the cheapest place to get one?

Cheers

Andy

Got mine from here:
http://www.chestnut-registrations.co.uk/vintagebikeplates.aspx
I went for 9" x 6 1/2". Not cheap but characters look 'crisper' than the plates you have linked to, and are the style of the period.
If you PM me your email address I can send a pic of the plate.

I have bought from both companies in the past and just recently from 'Chestnut Registrations'
The one from Chestnut has a clear sharpness & quality to it.

Chris400F:
This is mine from Chestnut. Characters are the same style as the original.
As far as size goes, character size and spacing seem to be the key. So required width might depend on the characters in your reg number.

Cheers guys,

Have you by any chance got a photo of them on the bike to get an idea of the size?

I think the 9" x 6 1/2" sounds good, I like that the font is the older style too!

how have you installed them on the bike? have you used a surround or just drilled and bolted it to the light mount directly?
