Title: 1977 Suzuki RM80B front number plate
Post by: lukeb1961 on June 13, 2010, 10:13:53 am

I have good guards, I am supposedly getting some side-covers, but I have not been able to find a front number-plate for the RM80B.
If you have an original one, in ANY condition, I am willing to pay a substantial amount for it.

ps. here is a photo (thanks Doc!) of what I am after

I think DC plastics do a repo for the T/X model.

Luke, might be worth seeing what the XR75 guys use or make your own from aluminium/steel sheet with a plastic bead edge. I noticed Brent has a couple of home made jobs on his bikes and scaled down they'd look near identical to the one you're looking for. Meant to ask where he gets the plastic rolled edge as it's the right profile for the job if you decide to fabricate ;)

thanks Chris - I will follow-up on this in a few weeks. Might just do the trick.

They do - and it is pretty good. However it is quite different to the early girl, which is held on with little rubber bands.
