It's so people can't clone your vehicle isn't it?

But you dont hide it when you are on it or its parked up on the road, people could clone it then

True, but covering it up on the road would be illegal.

And presumably if someone wanted to clone an SV it would be easier to come and look here for a similar looking one than waiting until they saw one on the road.

I understand your point, but if thats the only reason people do it then it is a little bit of a waste of time:neutral:

Cool ;)

It seems just to be the thing to do, rather then any real protection of the bike etc

How much time does it take to run a photo thru "paint" and scribble over the plate compared to the time it will take you to convince the authoriies that you are not responsible.
