License plate relocation from rear facing to side facing

[No H2O]

Starts out rough but looks better later.
No more camera tickets
No more belt guard
No stock bracket
And you can access your rear caliper

have you checked on the legality of it with your state...that wouldn't fly in Pa...just sayin

 

[No H2O]

Good point.
In my case, DC has a no-chase policy for bikes & ATVs (riders were going on the sidewalks endangering ppl to avoid police), I also ride in Va & MD and got pulled over once but when I showed him that I did indeed have a plate and where the plate was he let me go no ticket.

What part of PA you in?

What about the light? I thought to be legal your plate had to be lit up.

No more legal either.

I think I'd rather be legal and not risk being stopped or be stopped somewhere and be harassed by police...imo. if they do get your tag number they can ticket you by mail.

I thought I pushed the limit with being vertical, and very curved, and not lit.

But it is easily readable from the rear and headlights light it so well you can’t tell it’s not lit

you win lol

Yeah I can’t do that in Iowa either

Vehicle Tags

Vehicles registered in the District of Columbia are required by law to display DC DMV-issued vehicle tags. Tags will be issued at registration. Vehicles are required to display two current tags, one on the front and the other on the rear of the vehicle.

Exceptions are for motorcycles, mopeds, and trailers. For these, one tag is issued to be displayed on the rear of the vehicle.

DC DMV tags must be attached to the vehicle to which they are issued. They must be securely fastened in a horizontal position, so that they do not fall off and can be easily read. District law requires that the tags be visible and not obstructed or covered by any substance (e.g., glass, plastic, spray, license tag holders, etc.).

Sounds like you got lucky getting the cop that pulled you over? Others maybe not so much.....

the written law is just that but the PD has their hands full with other stuff. besides, a chill dude harmlessly cruising down the road without a license plate doesn't draw attention like the multitude of ATV and dirt bike riders:

Ehhh...I've always tried to error on the side of not giving the cops a reason to pull me over...if you're worried about plate tickets/tolls just do what I do and reach back and cover it quick

It simply boils down to risk...which is entirely yours to choose...for me it's not worth it. The one day that I have an extra drink or some herb and a bored officer (jealous) decides to pull that fancy chopper over so he can brag to his buddies later would cost me thousands. Imo...not worth it...and to rely on the "chance" that they won't notice or care could cost you big time. The perceived improved appearance or whatever you hope to gain from it will cost you at some point...just a matter of when and how much ...again it's your risk your decision. If u did a poll on here I'd guess 99.9 % would not do it. Yea... you would be that .1% guy...lol...again these are just my thoughts on this. Hope I dont have to tell u I told u so in the future.

Since my goal is to be able to ride anywhere without hassle I won't turn my plate.
Just because it's ok where you live -- I don't want to think about whether I can cross that state line without an issue. I hav e enough things to worry about already depending on what state line (NJ, MD, NY etc( I don't need any more) and moving the plate if I'm going to be in a state for an extended period of time is not an option. Besides, on the K-9 when the kickstands fails (or you forget to put it down) the bike stops on the License plate frame -- guess how I know!

That right there is probably the most compelling reason to keep the stock bracket

TX same

Making the plate vertical is as far as I would go. I like the low profile blend in thing excluding loud pipes for lane splitting in CA. I get pulled over enough for pipes on my last K-9 buy Vance and Hines doesn't sell the 2 into1 for K-9 anymore so that part of getting pulled over is gone also. Guess I must be getting old.
