If you followed the letter of the law there are only a few places 'allowed' to make/supply the plates. Just don't go to Wales.Ĭlick to expand.Yes, you're right, they have indeed changed again. As long as your plate can be clearly read by an (English) ANPR camera and you're not being silly, you should be safe. The essence of the regulations is, of course, standardisation for ANPR. You'd be VERY unlucky to get a tug based on an 8X6 plate - but any copper with, say, a beef about your riding style/speed/behaviour might be inclined to shove a non-conforming plate on to the list of other offences. I'm pretty sure that, unless you plan to visit Wales, you'll be entirely safe with an 8X6 as long as it doesn't take the proverbial with odd script characters and spacing.

There are also requirements and restrictions for displaying things like British Standard marks for plate manufacturer and flag marks for country (e.g. So, for instance, if your bike is registered as AA 19 ABC the plate size required to conform to the law would be very different to the plate required if you re-registered the vehicle on a personalised plate with the mark ST 1 for example.

There is NO legally specified size for the plate BUT the plate must conform to the legal requirements for spacing, font and size of characters which, in effect, means that the plate will need to be a minimum size to conform, depending on the vehicle registration mark. I know this will seem pedantic and pettifogging but your statement is not quite true. Thinking to get the knee rests for the tank, fly screen and mounting kit + double comfort seat + rear pegs. I've already got the tail tidy, V&H EU pipes, LED indicators, metal & leather tank protector & grey handlebar grips (basically track pack minus front fender which I personally don't like the look of). Thanks for the tinted fly screen pictures, I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on that one and keep searching for pictures of the dual comfort screen.


Having said that, its the most fun I've had on a motorbike in a very long time so regardless of the power or lack thereof, its the best thing I've ridden and look forward to riding in years - so I guess that speaks for itself.

I've been on 1000cc twins that are much more devastating than the Thruxton is. With relation to this, yeah you're quite right, I was just expecting more from the 1200cc in terms of outright power. Click to expand.Hi Guys, thanks for your comments all taken on board.
