Lower handlebars!!

This is the first time I've seen this thread. I looked at the pictures. When he said he'd relocated the licence plate - where to? - a shelf in the garage? :biggrin:

Look again, first pic where shock meets swingarm.

Ah yes :blush: But is that legal in America? In both England & Spain, the plate has to be in the normal, readable , position. i.e. horizontal- like normal, readable, text. :??:

Here in Canada it is legal to have your plate vertical as long as it's lighted and visible. :rawk:

Some places yes, some no. States make individual rules.
ALWAYS a potential reason to stop and hassle you though.

It is not legal here in Florida where it looks like that plate is from. That law may have come about after those pictures were posted.

Lori's bike has the same style bars. i'm 5-10 and she's 5-09. it is very comfortable and easy to handle. the position isn't forward of normal, either.

as for tag location, yes, you should always check the laws in your state to verify what is acceptable and what it not. Another option is to contact your local PD and ask who the resident "Traffic nazzi" is. speak to THAT person. believe me. either they will know, or they'll know where to look.

i recommend Lexis Nexis. they list the laws for a majority of the states. In GA, that would be legal so long as it is "affixed to the rear" (firmly) and lighted by a white light making the tag visible for at least 50 feet in hours of darkness.

I believe there is also a law stating how far forward the plate can be moved. It was mentioned by some one somewhere that certain states will not allow the plate to be forward of the rear axle. So check with your local LEO for confirmation so you will be street legal.

Japanese crusier with a drive shaft. Much larger with a V-twin engine. Looks like it received the same bar and seat mods, smaller rear signals and side mounted plate. Might be a Yamaha but not sure.
