Default Stupid Question....Where to put registration??

Where can I put my registration on my bike? Someone was telling me about a hidden holder that goes on the frame or behind the plate....or something like that?!?! Tool bag?
I looked under the seat but it doesn't look like theres a good place to store it. Any ideas would be great. Thanks!

well I carry a copy of mine, folded up in a plastic bag, along with a copy of my insurance so it doesnt get wet. Usually in my pocket. I usually have about 3 copies of my registration. One stays in my riding jacket I wear a lot, and the others one in my wallet and one loosely for like my pocket or sometimes I have a bag like a fork bag or something on the bike. And yes, I was pulled over last year and gave the cop the copy and it worked fine. No ticket! lol

Think you are referring to this product.

I've seen what looks like a large cigar tube w/a screw cap that mounts to the frame.

We are not usually asked for registration or insurance in WI though, so I just keep the ins card in my wallet.

a few comments:
a) make photocopies of the document (reg and insurrance), leave the originals at home and take the copies with you
b) I would suggest not putting those papers on the bike, but keep them on your person, if your bike gets stollen with those papers on it, they basically own the thing.

just my 0.2

HD makes them but they're ridiculously expensive.
I've got the chrome tool-boxes on the sides. Keep the paperwork in a ziploc back in one of them
