Jap numberplate size?

Post by lanks »

Searched and can't find what size rear numberplate a jap import should have?

Could one go on my bike?

Or is it too small?

Cheers

Too small for UK roads legally but ive seen much smaller on UK bikes, its close to 9x5, do you need exact measurements?

So is roughly 9x5. Cool, but what I'd really want is a real jap plate. It would 'look' the part in photoshoots.
It's not having what you want but wanting what you've got....Loud ,Proud and Modified ....

Here is a site that explains Jap plates. Motorcycles have there own size and setup even different areas.

I have one on my garage wall at home. I'll snap some pics and take a measurement when I get home. Do you want it in cm or inches?
