You can pimp your plates in Australia. I checked out the availability of a couple of plates in my state and these are good to go. I'm going to live off spuds and corn till I've got enough saved up then I'm going to get one. I'm leaning towards the CB919 plate. My bike is black and silver and that is the same combo on the plate. What do you guys think?

My vote would be CB919 but I may be a bit biased...

If I was to get a custom plate it would be YYY XY.
See if you can figure out what it means.

I try not to do stupid shit on public roads in front of other people, I try......anyway I live and ride on an island where everyone knows me and the bike. That's also why EAT ME won't work either. Rob I still don't have a clue about YYYXY. I have googled it, nothing.

Here in RI you don't have lots of choices for vanity plates, their stupid restrictions are as follows:

Allowed letter/number combinations for your vanity plate are:
2-5 letters with no numbers
3-4 letters followed by 1 number
3 letters followed by 2 numbers

The best I could come up with so far is NIN19 Or NIN00
Can't do CB900 or CB919

I'm long past the age to worry about who sees me doing what, and I've had a vanity plate on my car for many years, it's never brought me trouble

This is a rear shot of my bike. I don't think a black and silver plate would stand out. I only looked at custom plates because a UK member posted some pics of their bike, the plates are huge and yellow. Like a cooler lid. I looked into it where I live in Australia and it could be done. It's also not expensive.
CB 919 if 2-5 letters is allowed would NINER work?
Also this old dog isn't likely to try and pull off random stunts in public.

Those are just the restrictions here in the state of Rhode Island, USA, I'm sure it's different from state to state, and from country to country, territories, etc etc. Just look it up online for your local department of motor vehicles or whatever it's called there. If you want a custom plate, I'd go for it!

Is that a cairn terrier in your avatar photo? Sure looks like one. I have one as well if so.

Here's a link.

We can't have vanity plates in Indiana because a policeman had O1NK. Some little snowflake got butt hurt. Filed a lawsuit, so they could spread their misery. No more fun.

My truck plate, for years, was AR 10.

Remember, like 12 years ago when the bullet hole stickers were popular? I very carefully put 2, .45 bullet holes thru the plate of my 929. It got noticed a few times, once by an LEO. It was good for a chuckle.
