Whats the law on rego mounting?

**Fishy** · 16th February 2006, 14:05

Hey people, I gave my bike a fender chop on the weekend and mounted my rego nice and tidily behind the plate. When the bike is on the side stand and you are standing beside the bike you can see the rego where it is.

Does anyone know if there is a law on where you can and can't mount them?? Is where I mounted mine ok?

Ewes can mount where you like......

My WOF is mounted exactly the same as yours, and my Rego is in a similar holder at the opposite end of the plate. Been like this for nearly 3 years now with no probs. You can hardly read it by the time it expires either, after a years worth of water and dirt have seeped in to the holders from trail riding.

I have mine there too mate. I have seen people put them on their frames, but it just doesn't look good.

Fishslayer i am lead to believe you don't have to show them, eg my rego/wof are in my toolkit under the rear cowl. as long as you can produce them if/when pulled over

even tho the cops radios to check anyway.

Anywhere. I think u can even put it under the seat.

you youngsters..........I think it just needs to be displayed so presume visible.....mine is on the top of mu rear hugger..cause it is long enough....the hugger that is....sorry there I go again.:slap:

Next time I see ya can you look at my rear end (!!)and let me know whether I can shorten it....I have got a tail thingy but not keen on cutting bits..

Would've thought under the seat would see you nicked for not display a current registration. Seeing as the fine is for not displaying, actually having a rego might not even get you off

/edit: You could rotate it slightly, so that the corner just sticks out from the bottom of the plate. That way the rego biddies will spot it (saving you a fine), and it'll still look ok.

Quasievil has had some experience with this, I remember reading something about it. I'll go find it.

i have mine under the seat and have never had a problem

**Sniper** · 16th February 2006, 14:28

Click me, click me

quasi was fined by the evil meter maids. They are another story

Most meter maids in tga don't even both looking at bikes, and the like

I have been pulled over, cop didn't even ask to look at rego/wof, and all i show on back is plate.
