I have finally got round to fitting my tail tidy and Rizoma Indicators. I really like them and at least I won't get jeered at now for my ugly original tail tidy on ride outs. BUT The indicators are so small and the evotech tidy mount points are further in than the R&G, so now my legal plate obscures them too much. Is there anywhere in the Essex Herts area that I can go and get a 8x6 "show plate" made up. I can't ride my bike much with the indicators obscured I won't feel safe. I know I can order online but would of liked to get one a bit quicker. Cheers for any help! original Evotech PROBLEM
You have the same problem as me. I got a plate 1" shorter width wise and have had no problems with it.
did you go for an 8x6 then Colin? was it small enough...dont really want any smaller 'cop bait' got any pix mate?
I'm surprised by how much smaller an 8x6 looks, mine was bigger than 9x7 though, just No border or tag line so the letters are almost legal size Don't want to take the mick or ask to be pulled so unlikely to go much smaller My plate took about 3 working days to arrive
Why not just put the old indicators on until the new plate arrives I folded some paper to give me an idea of the new size, it looks a lot beter
did toy with old indicators but had to cut into electrics for new ones and really don't fancy undoing and redoing all again. Maybe ill go retro and stick me arm out as a secondary warning lol
Just bought 1 off these My Showplates - Quality Replacement Number Plates for Road or Show came within 3 days 7.5 x 6 Sidenote I had the Yorkshire Rose and cross of St George on the left which does make the digits smaller,will have to see if I get a pull,am fitting tomorrow along with Evotech Tailtidy.
Did toy with cutting down but its bound to look pants so Im going to order one online tomorrow. As for Bike tent, they are a wee bit pricey, but BLOODY HELL its fantastic, so much better than a bike cover. No more getting soaked taking the cover off in the morning. Best thing Ive bought for ages. Cannot recommend enough.
OOhhh its been dispatched! finally you'll be able to see my indicators lol Im easily pleased (number plate btw)
In case anyone was interested or just wanted to compare the standard size with an 8x6. You can see the indicators properly now so I'm happy. Side view: Butt shot:
Seriously mate the blooming resistors were bigger than the indicators! They are nice and bright though so not a safety compromise. They are Rizoma Action indicators btw
**** me zippy ,you need to shave that bill board down 6x4 ,what's the point in putting a tail tidy on when the answer is in the description {tail tidy}
Agree with Ben needs to be smaller ,the plod ain't going to bother you at 6x4 unless he hasn't had a leg over the night before ,seriously not the crime of the centuary when rapists,murderers and scum out there.
PMSL! cheers dude, I know what you mean but I ride everyday to work and pass more plod in a fortnight than I can count! Dont fancy giving them an excuse to keep stopping me when I'm running late for work every morning. 6x4 bloody hell I eat chocolate bars bigger than that lol
I've got an 8x6 on my R&G tail tidy with mini indicators and its looks good, but my indicators are further apart. Thought about a 7x5, and still might at some point. I'm staying conservative as while I don't think I'll get pulled for it, I don't want to make my chances worse if I do get pulled 8x6 is a good blend of being smaller but without making a big difference to the font size, you basically lose the huge border. My previous plate was also more like 9x7.5 so its had a bigger proportional effect
