I brought a bracket from Firemanjoe.com a few years ago. Once installed it will be located it front of the left side saddle bag.

I know you probably don't want to hear this, but don't forget about the new law in Florida that took effect October 1st. The one that deals with new plates is as follows.

316.2085(3) Motorcycle or moped license tag improperly affixed
This is classified as a moving violation.
First Offense: the violator must pay $1,000 plus any other costs assessed for a moving violation. Second Offense: the violator must pay a fine of $2,500, plus any other applicable costs assessed for a moving violation. The person’s driver license must be revoked for a period of one year.
Third Offense: the violator will be charged with a third degree felony, punishable as provided in ss. 775.082, 775.083, and 775.084, a mandatory fine of $5,000, and the driver license must be revoked for a period of ten years.

The new law requires that a motorcycle tag be centered on the bike, be at least 24 inches above the ground and be displayed so the numbers and the letters can be read from left to right. It cannot be hidden or sideways.


Now, I am not saying many cops would write this ticket, but there are some dicks out there that would, just to prove a point.

So be careful out there, oh and you can thank the sport bike guys for this.

The interesting thing is there is a model that comes from Harley with a plate on the side, I wonder how that would work?

Well then you got it covered brother ! I agree, I would never write a ticket like that, maybe the wheelie one and the 50 mph over. Now if your are trying to hide your plate then we might have to talk.

Either way good luck ride safe !

OK here's a couple pictures. He's looking at $35.00 raw or painted and is working on getting powder coated price. Says he hadn't considered chrome due to 98% of it being hidden.
