DC do the opaque number plates for RM125/250/370. I've had a couple of sets and they are decent.
Cheers,

they arre NOS plates off ebay, Suzuki kindly paints the plastic silver grey for you, but i kind of like it. Vintage suzuki does them as well but fit of their stuff is questionable.

I'm with Bill. As much as I've been critical of blinging up vintage bikes using billet triple clamps and inapropriate non era swingarms, here's a great example of a trick hot rod vintage bike that uses era specific parts. Too cool.

Hi

I have just finnished building a RM 370 from an absolute basket case. I am waiting for graphics. Initially I bought DC plastics- nothing wrong but not great, an acceptable set of plastics for racing. I managed to set a set of good plastics ex David at AMS Racing, looks like the NOS plastics.

Unfortunately for me and at the expense of building a period bike, I was forced to have a set of triple clamps/ trees machined, the bike has forks with a bigger outer diameter than the trees/ yokes/ triple clamps. The arse before me simply levered in a screwdriver to open up the trees. What a monumental fork up and costly to remedy.  I cannot wait to get the decals, bar the footpegs and machined trees/ clamps the balance of the bike is period.

I have a few bikes that were finnished late last year, a CR 250 1978, RM  370 1976, CR 500 2000,  I will post pics soon.
