    Call it maintenance, it's like every now and then i clean my chain with paraffin and then re lube as over time dirt sticks to the oil and to me that = grinding paste.

    I closed up the gaps on mine with a little foil tape. My tail tidy is a bit "custom," and I had already used some foil tape on the tab I heated and bent down to reflect the LED light from my integrated tail lamp onto the number plate.

    Yeah I've always thought, if plates were a sensible size (8x6in) no one would change them.
    It's not to small and looks a lot nicer on the bike.

    Me too no hassle so far but you know it'll happen. Small Plate, loud exhaust and a dark visor.... I'm so antisocial and consistently breaking the law probably best if I was drowned at birth

    Yeah jonesy, you sound a bit of a hooligan lol.
    I got the dark visor, sadly a standard exhaust atm, but if you don't go to small with number plate and make it look standard (no odd spacing/strange lettering) hopefully you won't attract to much attention.
