It's called a wallet and also gives you the excuse to ask the cop to get the flashlight out of yours eyes and point it where you can see what your doing. Never leave your papers on the bike, somebody rides off on it with the paperwork you got no leg to stand on reporting it stolen they will look at you like an idiot.

Someone might watch you place it in there and pry open the box after you leave.

Hi all....
I am looking for a small, semi-covert storage/lock box for the bike. I have a road king classic and looking for something to put registration and insurance where someone wouldn't simply walk off with it. I found a small like license plate size lock box that goes behind the licence plate. That is the best thing I've found so far.
Anyone have anything else/better?

What's awesome about Ohio is that they give you two copies of your registration. One for your record (with your address), and one to go in your vehicle, WITHOUT your address - for this very reason!

Locks only keep honest people honest.
Point is, if a "lock" is seen by someone with malicious intent,, well then they know something is in there, and all locks are easily defeated.
Covert is best, Out of sight is Out of mind.
There are floor board and foot peg options that offer sealed covert storage.
A simple search will provide those options.

Idiot friend did that and they took his bike on the way to Sturgis, went to report it stolen and he couldn't provide any proof it was his nor any info like the tag or vin number so how where they to know he didn't loan it out much less identify it. Told him was out of luck till he could.

And was he "unable" to provide that information?
Was it the fault of the Officer receiving his initial report or his for not having duplicate copies or being un-able to even provide the VIN?
(I have a photo of my VIN on my phone)
(I have "proof of insurance", on my phone)
I'm sorry your friend had to deal with that,, but did it end badly for him because the thief had the info instead of him?
What's the end of the story?
