SEBSPEED Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 You mean something like this, but on a VFR? You'd probably need to integrate with the chainguard, or hang it off one of the passenger pegs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marid2apterbilt Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 juust dont take it to the gap if you do, tn has some kind of law about mounting your plate, i think it is about mounting it any way other than left to right as in reading it left to right. but im not positive on this.

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted November 24, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted November 24, 2007 i know that the entire thing has to be readable from 50ft behind the bike. As far as orientation is, i don't believe there is a law on it, as i have seen cars with tilted plates, as well as bikes. I'm sure a cop will give you a hard time about it sooner or later, but it doesn't seem to be illegal. I just did a search on it and couldn't find anything on it anywhere. On some vendor sites for vertical plates, they do mention that it is illegal in some states. So i guess only way to be sure is to call the bureau.

SEBSPEED Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I put a light on mine, and rode over to the local PD and to the State Trooper barracks, both agencies told me I was good to go. :thumbsup: No issues at the Gap either, although I didn't see any 5-0 that weekend... :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifttruck Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'm trying to expand on my resources; anyone familiar with a side mount option for the license plate and light on a 6th gen VFR? My suggestion would be to make sure any mounting alteration of you registation plate if legal in the state it's registered. If your state has a safety inspection program the inspection code and not the vehicle code may spedify the mounting location as in my state.

Higgin Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 This is also law here in indiana.....I was just asking my friend, who is a leo about it the other day and this is what he sent me.....the official law. See 3-b IC 9-18-2-26 License plates; display Sec. 26. (a) License plates shall be displayed as follows: (1) For a motorcycle, trailer, semitrailer, or recreational vehicle, upon the rear of the vehicle. (2) For a tractor or dump truck, upon the front of the vehicle. (3) For every other vehicle, upon the rear of the vehicle. ( b ) A license plate shall be securely fastened, in a horizontal position, to the vehicle for which the plate is issued: (1) to prevent the license plate from swinging; (2) at a height of at least twelve (12) inches from the ground, measuring from the bottom of the license plate; (3) in a place and position that are clearly visible; (4) maintained free from foreign materials and in a condition to be clearly legible; and (5) not obstructed or obscured by tires, bumpers, accessories, or other opaque objects. © The bureau may adopt rules the bureau considers advisable to enforce the proper mounting and securing of license plates on vehicles consistent with this chapter. As added by P.L.2-1991, SEC.6. Amended by P.L.210-2005, SEC.22; P.L.42-2007, SEC.18. Around here, the ticket for improper tag display is $150, altho my friend says they rarely write that ticket. Plus your bike could be towed. But they do use it as a reason to pull some one over, Like if someone was obviously speeding, but he didn't get it on radar. He could pull you over for that and look for a more serious infraction...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
