I'm in Virginia. Had mine on the lower frame and was just forced to move it. If you get a strict inspector like I had...in Virginia it must be not only visible, but it must be on the left side of the bike from the engine forward. Engine guard plt is best on most touring models. Brake caliper lot is also acceptable, but doesn't look as good in my opinion. I was pissed mine had to be be moved, but it was that or fail. I admit I had mine where it was because it was NOT really visible.

If you put it on the engine guard lot and mount it perpendicular instead of horizontal it should be fine.

 

ok I live in Wyoming and I am confused, why do you need this sticker? and what is the point of there inspection?

 

It's an easy way for Va to get more tax money.

 

I haven't had one in over 20 years.

Pennsylvania (like many other states) does not have a standardized required location for the sticker. If I pull up next to a cop at a traffic light and he looks over the bike, he likely just figures the sticker is on the other side. If they required the sticker be placed on the license plate like some states are beginning to do, I couldn't get away with it any longer and I'd have to give in to the man.

 

Move to New Jersey.
No inspection on motorcycles any longer.

I don't think moving to another state is a sensible response to inspection stickers.
I have mine on a plate that is mounted on the left forward tank mount bolt. It's visible but not the main theme of the bike.

 

I don't put em on my bike either. No problems yet....

If the kick stand is up, mine is located right behind it mounted to some bolt which I can't tell you which one. Kind of have to bend over to see the sticker. Recently inspected at a Harley Dealer so I guess its in a legal area.

 

been riding for 15 years in va and several diffrent bikes and never had one, been pulled over and cops never said anything about it, just lucky i guess

 

The sticker is proof that a state certified vehicle inspector has checked that you have working headlight, tail light, brake light, turn signals, and horn and that your brake pads are not worn. In other words, that you paid someone to check items that you be checking yourself.
