go here for the different plates... theres a link that allows you to enter personalized combos to see if they are available... i wanted 82 XJ for my 82 seca 750 but it was already taken... michigan secretary of state license plates d

nope... we used to have a new plate every year but in Michigan that stopped in 1979. we JUST this year retired that plate and went to a new color scheme... now we have about 900 different plates. the basic is white with a blue band across the top. they have 7 letters or numbers (standard combo is 3 letters and 4 numbers). two variations come into play in that you can get one with any of the 15 public universities, 7 special fund raising plates (children welfare, lighthouse conservation, veteran services, wildlife conservation among others). now double that because we have a 2nd plate with a silhouette of the detroit skyline morphing into the wilderness of the upper peninsula going from blue to green. those dont allow you to add your school choice or special fund... on either plate you can get your branch of service (Army, Air Force, Marine Corp or Navy) as a veteran plate or with a military conflict (WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Persian Gulf) or POW plate, Amateur Radio, Purple Heart (combat wounded) or Medal of Honor, Silver Star or Bronze Star medal awards... if you pick either of these plates withOUT the vet or other school etc, you can apply for plates with whatever combo you desire. example: my new (to me) 82 seca 750 just got a 'vanity plate'. i wanted 82 XJ but it was taken so i got 82750 (year and size). i am ordering 81550 for my 81 maxim 550. they are the white with blue plates... d

wow... okay, thanks. i like our simple registration. on the papers if you have a 1982 it says "1982" and so on...

okay... since im on the west side of the pond ive got to ask... what does A Registration, P Registration and T Registration mean? ive seen this reference in a few posts and im a bit curious... thanks

okay after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, i finallly got on board... have owned an 81 XJ Maxim 550 since 1992, bought 4th hand in oklahoma. i was in the Air Force at the time. it got put away in 1995 and left in the back of the garage until last summer. i had the carbs rebuilt and spent about 40 hours cleaning, de-greasing, waxing and polishing every little bit on that bike. it started right up after the carbs went on but i had tuning issues. then it wouldnt start at all. its currently up and running like a new bike but im waiting on some fork seals. its currently got a tick less than 12,000 miles (19,200kM for you metric folk)... 2 weeks ago i picked up an 82 XJ Seca 750 with 17,300 miles. it runs like a top and ive had a good time scooting thru the neighborhood and around the country side...

greetings... i was offered one of those way back in 1992 when i bought my 550 maxim. i told the seller (of the bike AND box) that he would have to pay ME to take the thing... kind of wish i had gotten it just for the fact it was OEM yamaha... good luck finding one...
