I don't see the fuss with having to have a small one. If anything I think it looks daft cos it looks so alien
I've had 2 small plates on my last 2 FireBlades. The first one was on 2 lines with the letters slightly spaced and measuring about an inch high. I also had a small slogan on the bottom saying "Life begins at 140" Plod informed me Prison is at 140, funny bugger. £20 fine.
The second was just on 1 line in the classic letterbox style which so suited my 929. £60 fine. No points as it's a criminal offence and not a traffic offence. Nice Police man said they have to be big just in case i rob a bank, they can't see small plates. How we laughed when i said i use the my other bike to rob banks and it hasn't got a plate.
My Fazer has standard plate and looks ok with it.
the rozzers have got a sense of humour then (sometimes )
i wouldn,t put small plates on any bike - not worth the hassle and like you i think the fazer suits normal plate ,....but the photo of this ninga 600 with the small letterbox style plate really did look good, but so does a diamond tiara but i wouldnt have one of those either :D
I had one once, got pulled within a week, £30 fine, the wife called me a silly fucker. Haven't bothered with one since :\
this has been hot here in Spain this year.... :eek

I replaced the plate on my thou with a smaller one albeit in the same style as a regular plate - just smaller in all dimensions and smaller characters.
Never had a problem being pulled by plod or with MOT. Just a matter of degree Ireckon.
This is the plate on my old 929 FireBlade. i got followed for 4 miles with a young plod using Blues and two's, i honestly didn't think he was after me but could see the lights a few hundred yards back with loads of other cars between us. I just kept a steady speed in a 40, not doing anything naughty just progressive, he was being held up by everyone. When he finally stopped me i took my helmet off and he saw my ear plugs and said that was why i couldn't hear him. Phew!!! Anyway i digress, i think it was quite a tidy rear end. i've never done motocross on it it just looks like it?

i think that number plate looks far better than the standard one , but couldnt stand all the pulls,
where do you go to get one made ? surely all number plate makers have just standard sizes ?
I have a black and silver 'show plate' on my black mk1 FZS600, it looks better than the standard legal one. :evil
Not had a problem with it so far, never been pulled for it.................that is now the kiss of death no doubt. :'(
