Displaying WOF and Reg stickers

[HEsch]

Weird question, but probably surprisingly common... The little plastic holder for WOF and Reg seems to have come unscrewed, meaning my bike is a little more naked than usual.
I have got a new holder and a copy of the WOF from the dealers, but they didn't stick anything together for me as I didn't have the bike there (was running errands with the car). I don't want to get pinged for not displaying either thing correctly - which one should face outwards, the WOF or the registration?
I will locktite the screw (it must have jiggled itself undone).

Doesn't matter in the slightest.

both should be able to be seen and read without difficulty but commonly the license is considered most important and the wof holder is screwed on the back, personally my wof cant be viewed without me opening somit up, the wings wof is in the topbox and the zzr wof is in the side pocket.

ya sure someone didn't pinch your original holder, haven't heard it happening for years but used to be quite common

My rego is mounted below the number plate, so readable from behind the bike, the wof is in a plastic holder on the back side of the plate with the expiry date facing outwards so it can be read.

Use nyloc nuts to attach things....

Law says something like must be clearly visible.

Definitely didn't get pinched, bike has been locked in the garage at home. Holder thingee was there last weekend, as was the orange reflector on the same fitting, but not today, so must have lost it on my last ride. Was only one plastic holder before, but I don't remember which bit was facing out. Don't want to get stung by Auckland parking wardens when bike goes up in a couple of weeks to be my daily commuter.

They normally have nyloc nuts to stop them becoming undone.

It's kind of weird.

The WoF has to be mounted where it can be easily read by someone looking for it.

The reg is a different story. Mounting of the reg is dealt with under a different piece of legislation. It also has to be visible to anyone looking, but it also has to be adjacent to the licence plate.

Silly rules.

Have used a trusty cable tie.
Coulda shoulda woulda been a nyloc nut on back of the reflector, but whatever it was, it isn't there any more.

Guess I'm breaking the law then. I've stuck mine under the tail. Easily visible for anyone looking, but not adjacent to the number plate. One does not want to ruin the lines of the tail tidy you understand officer

IMO you only need it to be showing for parking wardens. I dont park in town ever so keep mine under the seat where it lurks unseen until replaced. The cops NEVER ask for it cos by the time they get out of their car, they already know whether you are up to date or not. I have never been asked for it in the times I have been pulled over.

...mine are in places where the filth have to squat or kneel to see them...that's how I like it, and that's that...wanky, little, money grubbing laws that irritate in their mediocrity...

[AllanB]

Once they set up their cameras to scan the rego sticker barcode when you ride past they will get tight on enforcement. New technology is not always good.

...should I cut my dick off now or wait 'til they tell me?...

There was a parking warden who tagged a cops personal Harley for having the licence label in the wrong place. It was mounted on the front frame member by the Harley dealer. As they had done with all the Harleys they sold.

The ticket stood. It's an offence. Fair to say it started something big a war of the tickets.
