Does anyone know if verticalside mount plates are legal in Pa? I love the look, but I would hate to get pulled over for this, especially after a few cocktails. Know what I mean?

 

I'd check with a bike inspections station - I ran this link and don't see anythiong on the tag mentioned.

My buds on big dogs all have side mount license plates and have never had a problem. Not sure how much that helps lol.

 

I asked the nice (Pa) Valley forge - police officer shopping in the Harley store, that was funny!!! Anyway, I asked the same question about verticle/horizontal on the license, he
laughed and replyed well, technically, its not allowed, but... there was in fact a, but............. we would not pull u over for that, and many of his riding friends have the plates verticle.

Well, thats my 2cents, and I don't have the cash to bail u out....!! I have to many bike payments left.!!! Good luck!!

 

According to the PA Vehicle Code (Title 75)
§ 1332. Display of registration plate.
[blockquote]
(a) General rule.--Every registration plate shall, at all times, be securely fastened to the vehicle to which it is assigned or on which its use is authorized in accordance with regulations promulgated by the department.
(b) Obscuring plate.--It is unlawful to display on any vehicle a registration plate which is so dirty as to prevent the reading of the number or letters thereon at a reasonable distance or is otherwise illegible at a reasonable distance or is obscured in any manner.

Looks like you are good to go.[/blockquote]

 

6165HD, man, I really like that cross bones, nice bike.

 

Not sure if people have seen this or not, but I read this in the paper a couple of weeks ago. http://www.pahousegop.com/NewsItem.aspx?NewsID=17732

 

I'd probably pay the extra to not have to worry about it. The local cops don't enforce the 'horizontal' law, but you never know..

 

Never a fan of side-mounted plates.
I've followed the bikes at night and when they are in a right-hand curve, the bike disappears.
Looks cool but I'll take being seen first.

 

Not legal just finished a custom build with the brother-in-law and when we went to get a title the inspection station failed it for a vertical plate.

You certainly can do it but it might get ya pulled over by the guy with a badge and a chip on his shoulder!!!
