Covering Your Rego Plate?

[Zed]

I am wondering if having the plate in this location is illegal in New Zealand? It can be seen, just that it isn't on the END of the bike. I guess it can be considered covering the plate?

IMO I like the look of that but I'm guessing you'd get knocked back on it, and it would get covered in muck from the tyre making it unclear to read...sounds like a 'cover up' to me?

No number plate light ?

IMO better than 'it fell out' as when the bulb magically un-screws itself... ain't always believeable.... why not connect it up to a higher voltage power supply (eg 24 or somethign) or put it in the microwave so it burns out. Then its more believeable huh (and then put it back in).

Lets just say... im not exactly looking where the plate is

Friggen sexy bike that.. nice zorst (square looks quite nice actually ) hope you do something like that, FEINT.

I dont know if NZ plates would fit down there though without being on too much angle..?

I need somewhere to mount my plate without being too illegal. They mounted it under the seat so it leaves the rear end clean and tidy. Was thinking of the same, but wondering if illegal.

If it is dirty, another reason to clean it haha. I guess, i will try to mount it down there. Thanks for the input guys, sorry for hijacking the post.

No need to apologise...twice. I don't consider that a hijack at all, unlike the boring endless dialogue that often occurs when the 'Pointless-drivel Princes' take over!

I've been busted in the past for this (woof over the plate)....I do it not for running from coppers,but to keep those 'concerned citizens' from blabbing on their cellys......What rubber?

it should be legal as long as its viewable from the rear, pretty sure there nothing that says the plate must be at the rear most extremity of the vehicle, tow trucks often have them on the rear of the cab.

Plus if you look at alot of cars on the road, their towbars obscure the plate even with out anything on them.




only thing is though you will need a rear facing red reflector with the right regs on it, you can pick these up from repco about ten bucks(like in above pic) and will just sit under or above your plate. Plus you will need some light, 2 white leds and resistor should do that sweet as though.
