does anyone know the laws on plate placement on a bike?> i have been searching with no success. :banana

 

[firefightergsxr]

such is sideways legal? if so does it have to have a light on it? does it have to be under the tail light?

 

[KawTipping]

it has to have a light on it, but I do not know where the plate is supposed to be. I am sure that it has to be able to be seen....though I know lots of people that do not have plates that are visable to "the man".

by under the tail, i mean on an aftermarket bracket, stockish location.

Dude, dont hate the mudflap. What did it ever do to you?

Ill be rockin the mudflap for as long as I have the Gixxer. Even at the track.

Well, stockish on the registered bikes anyway.

There are very strict regulations about the placement of the plate (and turn signals and reflectors) relative to the rear wheel and tail light per DOT regulations. THat's why we have those crappy mud flaps (yes, Tom, they are shit). By the letter of the law, any movement from stock location is illegeal.

I talked to my brother who's MPD and asked him. He said as long as ita facing towards the rear and has a light on it, its good. Sideways is just fine as well. Even with in the rear wheel well is ok , as long as it can be seen from the rear of the bike and with a light on it.

Go to the police department and get it straight from them. If they do not know I'm sure they will know where to send you.

I have heard from a reliable source that license plates need to be mounted in the stock location along with blinkers for bikes that have been rebuilt from a salvage title and need to be inspected for street use. Kind of tells me anything other than stock is a violation. But the police will be the best place to get your answer.

In Florida...the name of the State has to be horizontal and it is supposed to be lighted...I saw some chopper dudes getting hassled for their swing arm mounts during Bike Week...
