jimm Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 New to the forum, its a good 'un, done lots of reading...so TY for all the previous! Not had a bike for many years [mumbles a number and coughs], and I'm about to sort myself out a Midnight Star 1300A. Its a little thing, well not so little, but looking at the demo machine in the dealer, the rear plate is a bit of an eyesore. Sticks up like a sail because it mounts above the light cluster... I guess its a splendid 'regulation' UK rear plate, as that's what the dealer has to fit. But there has to be a better way. Not sure of the legality, but you do see some nice neat plates on bikes. Also, when you look at the pics in the brochure, they've got these nice little chrome plate mounts, but I can't find anything like this in the accessories lists, and Googling has drawn a blank. Just interested in what other people have done as far as mounting UK plates. Thanks, Jim (apologies for the dupe post, hit the wrong button :/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 1300, done about 7K miles since I got it last year. I replaced the "full size" with a show plate, and so far so good ... I spent the first few weeks with the big plate in the panniers :-) hope you enjoy yours when u get it, they are a great middle weight, a good blend of performance and handling All the best Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
