but, thanks for your super helpful dick response tho!

I run mine vertical. Have for many years on the Sporty, and probably ridden in 20 States. Never had a problem with Leo's. I would think my exhaust with no baffles would key them off more than a plate...but knock on wood...zero issues.

In Wisconsin the law is clear.

The law pertains to bikes registered in WI. I guess a determined LEO could cite an out of state operator if the operator's home state disallowed vertical display.
