Default Inspection Sticker - New York State

I have an 06 Softail Deluxe and the dealer put the inspection sticker on the down tube. In New York it has to be either the down tube or front fork. (Yuck...) On my previous non-harley bike I used a chrome inspection plate and mounted it just behind the left passenger peg on a chain cover bolt.

Any good places on a Deluxe to mount a plate. ?

I don't care where as long as it's not in the way of anything...

I am in NC and my harley came with a plate next to the left peg... That is where my inspection sticker is right now. Honestly... I thought it was something that is on all harleys

if you look here:



you can see it by the shifter.

When I asked the dealer about using the plate he told me he wasn't allowed to do that but I could go and have it reinspected and put the sticker anywhere I wanted.

The front peg mount doesn't look to bad as long as it doesn't interfere with the operation of anything.


Thanks for the picture shot.

No worries...

The thing really does not get in the way... Like I said, I thought it was just a normal stock harley part... It just fits there with no problem. Now... the dealership does my oil changes and everything so I don't THINK it gets in the way of the filter or anything... but who knows.

I also live in NY. According to my service place, cops in NY were supposed to enforce the rule more stringently last summer and he wasn't going to put stickers on inspection plates anymore. But for some reason he put it on the same old plate that's always been on my Fat Boy. Supposedly the reasoning is that you can remove the plate/sticker and slap it onto any bike to make it look like it was inspected, as opposed to having to scrape a stick off of a fork tube or frame tube.

I guess the dealer gave it to you. It's not a standard accessory on any Harley that I know of.

As far as putting it on another bike, wow, how cheap can someone get, it cost me $6 to have the bike inspected. All they do is check my lights and horn and then ask me where I want the sticker...

When I lived in NY, I always got my sticker put on my plate...
Troopers never seemed to mind at all.

It's right there above my left toe.
