I really like the original HUSKY number plate holder, looks funky (thumbs)

It is possible to add a small LED type white light with the high plate but its a bit of a faff--and 99% of people don't bother (of course a rear reflector IS part of the MOT so you have to add that--the rear light typically doesn't have a built in reflector--unless they've changed it and I haven't noticed).
On my 690 I've not added any white lights and don't have a separate reflector, yet haven't had any problems on the road or with the MOT man in the 3 years or so that I've owned it (even with the undersized number plate).

Didn't push it to hard though, still runnin in the engine and the TKC80... Lets just say not the best tyres for mudy lanes...

Number plate holder is really easy to remove - just 4 bolts and it's off.
Have you bolted through the centre section of mudguard?
Finally back on a GS :D

I bolted number plate (size 7'x 5') directly to the mudguard. Just drilled 4 holes and used plastic bolts supplied with number plate
