photoshop mockup of actually available Triumph number plate mounted on stock Bobber front fender.

Aside for the issues of: safety, legal etc.
Anyone think its a good look?

I think that looks all sorts of weird ... reminds me of a taxi roof thing. Sorry I suck at being descriptive, but I personally don't like it in terms of looks strictly.

 

[Zanetti]

its suppose to call to mind this classic bike...

however, it seems to be a swing and a miss.

Even my dealer, who is nearly obligated by law to respond positively, was at best neutral

I think it's one of those things that you either like or you don't. I'm personally not a fan of it but maybe the plate will look better if it's your license plate and not just Triumph.

 

[Lure]

Main thing is, if you like it, go for it! Modifying all comes down to your personal taste and making the bike truly yours. If others don't like it but you do, ride the wave lol.

Really up to you and what you want on your Bobber. Maybe I'd like it more if the letters and border is in silver to match the silver part of the tank.

Takes away the US version of old school Bobbers. I like being a little different so if you like it go for it, jut not my cup of Expresso.

 

[muensterDeath]

I kind of dig it. If you did that and the fender rack on the rear like another member did I think it would look cool.

Looks good, like the old bikes of long ago.

I love it! I had one on my Royal Enfield. Called it a pedestrian slicer.

Yep, we called them meat cleavers. If you're in the US, I'd be worried about liability issues if you put one on.

I had asked a similar question a long time ago. I like it a lot but, not the Triumph logo on it. License plate is the way to go, particularly as @muensterDeath says, with the rack on the rear fender. Very much an old school and WW11 look. Didn’t know they were offering that.

Haha! Liability! You’ve just hit a pedestrian with your tire, headlight, handlebar and possibly your whole body, but you’re worried that he’s going to know that you’re front fender plate isn’t stock? Someone is overthinking this.

This got my attention because I came very close to doing this a couple months ago. I found somebody on ebay who could custom stamp whatever letters/number you want and provide a 2-sided vintage looking plate. I was going to make it match my vanity plate.

In the end, though, I decided it wreaks of "Big Brother" (old European requirements for excessive markings -- kind of like the preposterously GIGANTIC number plates so many countries require now. Yuck!). Besides, the idea of a "Bobber" is to remove parts and mass, not add more. That's why I am reluctant to carry out my tank shifter / quick shifter fantasy. Cool though it would be!

I like the idea but then again I like the look of old/vintage bikes.

If it wast the 'right' piece on the right mudguard, I would be tempted.

Cheerio,

Fair enough :grin2: But America is the most litigious country in the world and stranger things have happened...

Just do it! If you like it. You don't need justification from other folks

I don't see why not. THEY'RE allowed to have them!

That looks like fun to drive...

Not as fun as this...
