    Ridiculous surely.

    Ideally, the road code should explain clearly in common English what the legislation says and then have links to the actual legislation...


    But then, perhaps, I'm expecting too much...

    Since a plastic reflector is required and there is no appropriate place on the tail, it seems I'm going to need to drill a hole in the bottom of my plate and mount the reflector from my stock fender, and then buy and affix the 'tube' wof/rego holder to the reflector mounting bolt, hanging below the reflector.

    Not the most attractive solution; I hate poking new holes in my plate, and the more weight hanging off the plate the more likely the plate itself will fatigue and break - but I'm not immediately seeing any other ways I can comply. Evidently this is how we get heavy and ugly fenders we all want to replace....because they give room to mount reflectors and lights and a myriad of paper.

    Does a car require a red passive reflector on the rear, or is this limited to motorcycles?

    They are built into their tail lights.


    Make up a bracket from some sheet alloy to hold the reflector and rego - you'll be able to run it down from the number plate mounts and behind the plate. Paint it black.

    I knew I'd seen something - a bit like this example below but adapted to suit your tail tidy and ride.

    I've always made my own tail tidies but when I got the Ducati I shouted myself one - I should have just made one again as I ended up modifying it so much to suit what I wanted

    I just stick my rego label on the back of the licence plate with 3M double sided foam tape. Looks nice and tidy and doesn't mind getting wet.

    Mind you, I don't have a tidy tail thingy.

    I have seen the little tubes, which look nice, crack and break.
    i did think about using this same device, but after seeing one fall off on a, dare I say it, group ride. I decided against it.

    Different clauses of different laws.

    Who knew.
    Bugger, I thought the licence label just had to be "close to" the number plate not adjacent, have both attached to my swinging arm. Mind you, when I was stopped at a checkpoint the cop seemed happy enough with their position when he checked them.

    Clearly the rego holder was under pressure to keep up on the group ride and fell off. Inexperienced individual components on your motorcycle can fail under this type of pressure.

    Fair enough. My anecdotal experience was different - so far, 17,000 kms with these Tard-Me-purchased holders (on three bikes). So, they worked for me.

    yes but possibly yours had more training and went to riding scool so that they would never fail and not feel the need to keep up therefor not crack under pressure while on a group ride and so not fall off

    The missing element is the rabid dog, for it will come and bite the damn holder clean off...and then run away with your rego label, now rendered void on account of teeth puncture marks

    Yeah, sorry about that. My dog isn't actually rabid, just well trained...
    (regos so expensive!)
    High miles, engine knock, rusty chrome, worn pegs...
