Default Inspection Plate
I was at a dealer in Texas the other day and saw a Wide Glide with an inspection plate shaped like Texas. I did not know who owned the bike of if the owner was there since it was sitting in the service area.

Has anyone seen where to get one of these? I have searched the internet with all kinds of phrases but cannot locate one.

We don't have those in Illinois, because our state is shaped like an upside-down turd.

I'm in Virginia and my Inspection plate is just square.
Don't think a LEO would appreciate me dremeling my plate down to the shape of VA.

No telling where he got it. It might have been something else he just drilled a hole in and used for an inspection plate. Look for a small chrome Texas plaque or emblem. Perhaps you will have better luck. I too live in Texas and I have never seen one of those myself. Mine is square as well.

In Arizona we don't need no stinking inspections plates.

I'm in Virginia also and mine is square but I don't see why any cop would care what shape it is as long as it is visible.
