Title: Anyone Remember This Number Plate.
Post by: Retrodan72 on October 06, 2013, 08:16 PM
I had a plate on the front of my Piranha BITD, sorry I have no pics, or don't know the brand, but it was made of heavy duty black plastic, it was a grill more than a mesh and it's dimensions allowed it to fit inside a set of CW's, even had a cutaway recess for the stem.

Anyone remember them, bit vague I know. :-[

I thought that too Phil, but my memory from 28 years ago is a bit jaded, must be the drugs in the 90s that's done that. :daumenhoch:

Not seen one of those before. Might be worth messaging that bankrupt bike parts place on the bay, they seem to do a fair bit of Landar stuff.

Was going to post this but redundant now  :LolLolLolLol:

What I do remember is that I took the Landar sticker off and replaced it with a Robinson sticker  :wtf:

I'd never even seen a Robbo till Carl turned up on his in Chester, that was 2011. :LolLolLolLol:

Im sure i saw one of these on James nadas OS GT race bike a few years back? Im a fan of landar stuff as the local hardware shop by me stocked it when i was a kid and we were buying it for our street bikes up until the late 90's. I sold my last NOS landar pad set not so long back.

For me it's a plate, for you it's your childhood bike. Wouldn't mind a suitable replacement if you can sort one, nuttin major but just a suitable plate for my bike. If not i'm sure i can do whats right in this hobby and sort you out like times of old when proper forum enthusiasts helped each other and favours came above prices.  :coolsmiley:

Leave it with me, it's not an essential part of the build though tbh. :4_17_5:

Plus i forgot to say i replaced the Landar decal with a Dels Decals decal so you may need a little Robinson one to get back to Dan factory spec.  :LolLolLolLol:
