I suggest a freezer bag for longevity. The forkbags and platbags can be found in good quality at many venders. Papers, Tools ,X-tra Glasses ect will fit in those bags. Enjoy your ride.

On my Sporty I use a storage box in between the plate and frame. 2 years now no issues.

Pull the cover off the electrical box (next to the horn) and put your paperwork in a zip lock bag and tape it to the inside of the cover.

I use one of these inside of a zipper pocket in my bags but will work just as well duct-taped under a seat

i like to have all my paperwork photocopied to include insurance and copy of my drivers license under the seat... lost my wallet in bfe 6 states away from home and it came in handy then so i make a habit to keep the duplicates with my ride out of site and out of mind for that reason mostly.

This. Though I don't tape it. It will slide right behind the bracket on the inside of the box.

I wouldn't keep it in my wallet. I am a minimalist when it comes to wallets. ID, 1 credit card, 1 debit card, AAA card, medical insurance card and thats it. None of this for me
