Aye Ray. In a sort od Trailer stall ? Jepsons again. !!

There is also a place in Manchester that does them quite quickly. Showplates or something .

I use a company called Framptons, http://www.framptonsplates.com/BikePlates.html

You have to ping over a copy of your V5 and then the plates arrive a couple of days later, think the cost was approx £26 inc postage.

I got their acrylic B&W rear plate for my '74 H2B after I discovered B&W plates are legal on all vehicles taxed as 'historic' and not limited to pre '73 vehicles anymore.

It's not historically accurate though is it ? Traditionally , it was 1972 and earlier . and for years folk with L reg bikes were slipping them on because they preferred the look. Now , I know we've dropped front number plates , and use modern tyres etc etc , but it just doesn't look right for me; putting a black plate on a later model !!!

I go to 2 auto jumbles a month and there is always a chap there making up number plates pressed steel as well but I think you have to order them

I was one of those who changed my bikes in the seventies to reflective plates but now I love the retro look of B&W plates on any H2. Because the 750 H2 was available new in 1972, I think it's okay to use a B&W plate on a later example now but can see why others might disagree...

Hmm. Taking that kind of reasoning to it`s illogical conclusion, you could just stick a black plate on a modern H2R, as it says H2 and Kawasaki on it. And they made those H2 Kawasakis in 1972.
