You should sell advertising on that billboard!
I'm glad our plates are still small here. Only wish the price was small too.
Three times the voters have said $30 maximum price. The politicians keep rejecting the people and charge >$200.
True democracy. Not.

On my FX I fashion a bracket that bolted onto the belt guard and mounted mine down there, it looked pretty good.

Yes, and they all have a Lifetime Warranty when used to mount USA sized plates! We have a lot of international/oversize plate Customers running them too, with no problems.

I would be surprised to see the plates that mount vertically and/or have curvature be legal anywhere "overseas". In Europe, and I note that Norway is NOT part of the EU, there are also often requirements as to the visibility of the plate from behind at a certain distance/angle. Fortunately, the EU has its whole own legislation on license plates for motorcycles (see attachment)

Have a good one, niv
