I have a 1973 Z1 and it is an import from the USA with the short mudguard.
My question is: what size plate looks good with this set up? I have applied for an inspection visit from DVLA and hope to address this soon.
Many thanks

Re: Number plate
legal plate looks ok. One size down ok and not too obvious
personally I think tiny plates look silly and are asking to get you stopped.

All mine are 8x6, standard ones are 9x7. I've never had any problems with plod.

Re: Number plate
My plate is narrower as it only has six characters, and on my adnoh import it has a smaller plate as a UK size plate does not fit properly without the risk of breaking.

I took the same view too, don't take the you-know-what & plod should leave you alone. I too have naver had any issues with plod with this size plate.
Re: Number plate
8x6 is a nice size

Re: Number plate
8 x 5 great, where did you get them from?
Re: Number plate
I'm not after a tiny plate, just one that sits in the curve of the short mudguard. 8 x 5" looks perfect
Re: Number plate
Sorry ment to say 8x6 not 8x5.
I get mine from evilbay but it's getting harder because some want proof of the v5, most classic bike shows have someone making 'show plates'
