Default inspection sticker

I live in upstate NY and they give you a inspection sticker for the bike. You are suppose to stick it to the front forks. To me it takes some of the class way. Just would like to know were you other rides put the sticker? I know were I would like to stick it!!! The guy who inspected the bike told me that they make a plate that you bolt on the frame up by the lower bend of the frame by the front tire and I should put it there.

Sounds like you get a choice of where to put it - lucky dog! Our inspectors just slap it on the lower right front fork leg. Tried to get him to put it elsewhere but he told me it HAD to go where he was putting it. Bureaucrats - YARGH!

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, as we don't have inspections, let alone 'stickers'..

Might have asked this - we seam to be getting quite a few upstate Nyers latly wich is great - where in upstate - glens falls here

I've seen the plates on some of the bikes - never realy gave it any thought - but you are right - hard to ignore on the fork - need to go check mine - might be outta date - glad I wasn't headed back with Keith B yesterday - he went through a road block twice yesterday on 5s

In Pa it also goes on the forks.They used to put it on the rear fender and that really sucks.I work with a guy that hasn't had his bike inspected in 8 years.Never got caught so far but if he ever does the fine is over $100 and probably a police tow charge.
