Very cool. I don't wish I was still in Cali but certainly wish I had black plates for my black bike and black Vette. License plates colors have always been the sore spot on any custom done car or bike.

I considered doing same but decided the std reflective white plate would give a bit better visibility at night. Black plate definitely would look cool though....

To answer your question.
1) Because my white plate stands out on a black bike
2) $50 gets me a personalized plate too
3) because black plates haven't been around since the 50s
4) because I can
5) because it's F***ing awesome

#4 & #5 for the win.

I can add a #6 for that guy but I won't. Those plates would be sick on a black bike

i jumped in about a month ago. waiting on my plate now. dmv already cashed my check. i really hope it arrives sooner because i'm riding without a plate right now.

i found out about this from a streetbob for sale on craigslist right now. If this is anybody's bike on this forum, bad ***! otherwise, here's a picture to show as an example
