Vertical mounted plate not legal in Michigan?
State police stopped me, told me my side mount vertical plate is not legal in Michigan (my bike is registared in Michigan). On checking the DMV and Sec. of State rules for motorcycles, there is NOTHING listed pertaining to the proper mounting of motorcycle plates. Anyone have a tale or info on this?
Thanks,

True. But sorta Chicken s&*t.
It's in the all encompassing motor vehicle code which motorcycles are required to comply with.
Here's a link to click on: http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(xxrfw...me=mcl-257-225
Here's the part they got you on:
(2) A registration plate shall at all times be securely fastened in a horizontal position to the vehicle for which the plate is issued so as to prevent the plate from swinging. The plate shall be attached at a height of not less than 12 inches from the ground, measured from the bottom of the plate, in a place and position which is clearly visible. The plate shall be maintained free from foreign materials that obscure or partially obscure the registration information, and in a clearly legible condition.
(6) A person who violates this section is responsible for a civil infraction.
