Default Relocating to Hawaii

Moving to Hawaii soon, and have heard that HI requires the state inspection sticker to be displayed on the back of the bike. I'm looking for ideas as to how anyone has done this, without it looking tacky? As well as, are there any other laws or rules regarding scooters or cages I should be aware of before I show up? Thanks

I used to be on UH-1H's nothing but 60's now-a-days, still like to pay homage though

All vehicles (cages and scoots) have to have the inspection sticker. There is an exception to that where you keep your current state plates, but then you have to get a different blue sticker on the back that is even bigger than the inspection sticker.


For your motorcycle they will either put a piece of metal on behind your plate that the sticker goes on, or they will just apply it directly to your bike. Most places (Like Cycle City, local HD dealer) will place it on your chain/belt guard instead of putting it on your tins.


If you're not out here yet just let me know if you have any other questions.

I have a side mount plate, so can I put the stupid sticker on the front of that?

Yeah, I've seen guys with the metal piece attached to their side mounts with the sticker.

Any way you can give me the measurements of this sticker, so I can fab up a plate, before I pack up my tools?

Yeah, I will do it when I get home from work in a couple of hours.

*couple of hours has turned into all day because my bike didn't want to start to get me hime this morning, so it is still there. I haven't forgot though, I will get you the measurements.
