What are your measurements?!?

I have one standard size & one a little smaller

Standard size, it's not worth the hassle

I see a lot of bikes with smaller plates...but it seems the folk on here are good law abiding souls and the general consensus seems that it ain't woth the hassle.

Cheers all

my plate is just the right size to snag on the crap in the back of the shed as I manouevre the bike in so it fits in with room to shut the doors and don't get me started on the enormous great indicators either side of it!!!!

At the moment mine is standard; I had a slightly smaller one on but it disappeared recently during a ride out. Never saw it again! So had to put the old one on. Looks to big and ugly I think so will get another slightly smaller one. Never had any bother either.

For quick and easy i can recommend halfords of all places, they only had two sets of indicators - huge and teeny, they fitted a treat and can be seen round the number plate perfectly, not bad for 15 quid and i know theres one just down the road from you lol

dave, I'll stick with the huge plate and massive indicators - if I start putting smart accessories on an "old guy, ride to work" bike it'd look daft. I'll just wait til I get my next bike - or break off my indicators and plate by knocking into the crap at the back of the shed Maybe I could clear the shed out? No, life's too short and I'm way too lazy

Mines standard. Been there, done that with "chase plates" as they were called in the 80s. Any excuse to pull bikes over in Suffolk, I have heard. Not worth the bother.</old fat mode>

Also not much call for one a a FX650

Standard - i think the small ones look "chavvy" - just my opinion....
