I'm no legal expert, but as far as I can tell, it needs to be mounted horizontally. See section 341.15 of the link below. Now whether they choose to enforce this on a motorcycle or not is another question. My guess would be that if they are looking for a reason to pull you over, this would give it to them.

Do not take this to the bank but , in beer city we would go through the city early on a Sunday am gust to rattle the windows and set off car alarms. Needless to say when you pass a bike you drop your arm to wave because the cop comeing at you is doing the same thing.

I have mine mounted horizontally under my saddlebag on my Road Glide. My friend has his vertically on his Night Train and he has had no problems.
