Default Personal Plates
I want to add personal plates to my Street Glide special. I narrowed it down to 4 choices. I wanted to get some input from the forum members. Which one would you select?

BAGUR
GLYED
SPSHL
HDSGS

Thanks for the input. I hear ya with SPSHL. Lol...I did poll friends and coworkers on all 4. Most couldn't figure out SPSHL. The rest picked up BAGUR and GLYED. But my wife did say GLYED looks like Gli ed. Appreciate it.

I'd go with HDSGS. I was going to do that in Texas since it was available, but with my Motorcycle Club Name instead.

Too bad you are limited to 5 letters........in Missouri we are allowed six so I have SGLYDE.....there are others on this site from different states that have the same. BTW SGLIDE in Missouri was already taken so I had to go with the Y.

Is BAGER taken? I think for 5 letters HDSGS is good.......Harley guys will know what it means.
