Default licence plate laws????

Anybody know the licence plate laws in ohio as far as if it has to be in the middle of the fender or what? I just put a side mount on my bike and wanted to know if it's illegal.
Also do you have to have mirrors? Cause I just took mine off with the new hangers I put on my bike. Thanks

Don't you think it's a bad time to start asking if it's legal?After you already changed the stuff! There are always some gray area's and you should check with others that already did the same and got away with it!

Looks like you just have to have one and have it illuminated. I cant find anything that says anything about location for ohio.

I looked into this and i have come to the same conclusion just have to have one and it has to have a light on it so it can be seen. And turn signals just have to have them. As i plan to do the side plate and the kury tailight turnsignal combo.

Ama says one mirror is required by law, must have turn signals if manufactured after 1968,

Well thanks fellas. So i'm good with the plate I think. But I think i'm illegal with no mirrors and 16" apes. Cause they say 15" over seat is illegal. Oh well we'll see what happens. It looks way cooler anyway
