Default Where to keep MC papers...?

New to the Harley world and I'm wondering where do you keep your MC paperwork "registration, inspection and insurance papers etc..."other than your back pocket...just bought a 72 and I'm looking for something "SMALL" that I can attach to the frame or forks...Been looking online and I can't find anything...hope u guys can help me out w/ ideas or places that I can find one. I had several sport bikes in the past and used to keep all the paperwork under the passenger seat.....

Thks in advance..!!!

I have an iron 883 and I used a small windshield bag bolted to the backside of the license plate. The iron has the side mounted plate.
like so.

I got the Grifter license plate box.

It's cheap which is good, but cheap looking, which is bad, but it's also not noticeable at all. In fact, no one has yet noticed it so far as I know.

I keep the paperwork in there, plus a pair of vinyl gloves, spare ear plugs, a couple baby wipes for the visor, etc.

Can you scan those documents and store them on your phone?

I keep my current registration in the plastic HD folder in the saddlebag. The pink slip is at home in the safe.

i just keep an insurance card in my wallet. I don't keep the registration on the bike; it stays at home. No need to carry it, as the cops can look up your info.

Yeah, I got plenty of places to keep mine. Right now it in the top case in a holder.

Here in New York the Inspection Sticker must be stuck on the Frame or Fork. I keep copies of the Registration and the Insurance Card in my wallet you will be ticketed if you cannot produce them in NY.
I would never leave them on the Bike too easy for someone intent on taking the Bike.
Years ago my Brother in Law and I left his 850 Norton and my 750 Rickman Interceptor chained together in a mall vertical parking lot. Rickman was a rare English MC as was the Norton both about a year old. We chose a well lighted level and figured no one could roll away 900lbs of MCs. We went inside and when we returned both were gone, we both had our Helmets with us so they would not get taken (great..). The Police said there were a rash of guys using large pickups with tailgate lifts to steal Bikes. We also learned that the Security Cameras were only at the entrances and exits. They were probably gone in minutes.
I have NEVER left my Bike unattended like that again no matter how well chained I never even carry a chain so I am not tempted. Fortunately they were both insured.
Lesson learned!

I carry mine in my wallet. It'd be more convenient to leave 'em in a saddlebag, tank bag, or something similar, but there's too much personal info on the documents for me to leave them sitting somewhere anyone can get to.
