I have too many vehicles to store registration papers in my wallet. Papers can be stored under a seat, if you have a thumb screw for quick seat removal. Another option is to store them in a fork/tool bag.

Depending on the type of grips you have, I put mine inside a cigar tube and slid it inside my handlebars. That was when I had a Dyna. Now it is in my saddlebags on my Electra Glide

Now you know why some use a wallet with a chain. Never loose it on the road.

Remove the cover for the fuses on the left side of your bike (it looks like there are (4) four screws holding it on but it just pulls off trust me) you can put them in there It is also a good place to stash the end for your battery tender. Use a ziplock bag for the papers.

Lots of good ideas here but I bought a chrome stash tube for my wife's Superglide that bolts on the license plate. You don't even notice it.

In my wallet. Plenty of room for the paper work on my two bikes.
My other vehicles have glove boxes for paper work storeage.

Credit cards and necessary ID take up more room in my wallet than the three registrations and insurance card for the bikes do.
