I dunno. I'm wondering how the yellow one would look on my Speed Yellow cab. I might have to do some photochopping to find out...

It does, to a degree. Here is Laverda SFC 1000, with a plate that is SFC1-oh-oh-oh, the letter instead of the number. Seems to work.

Thinking about the black with yellow for my black C2S. It will either look really slick, which I want, or old, which I don't want....Thoughts?

I predict this will be a resounding sucess. I'd easily pay $100 for black plates.

I'm not sure why every state seems to think it's a good idea to put a farm scene or some ridiculous sunset on a plate. whatever the premium for having "artwork" on your plates is, I don't want to pay it.

Just pre-ordered a black & yellow plate for my '69.

Spread the word - the quicker we hit 7500 the quicker we'll get 'em.

You may find that the plates must match the era of the vehicle VIN.

The yellow-on-blue '70s plate would look excellent on Dan's (edgy) beautiful blue cab, don't you think?

Here's the link:

the blues would clash
