As of march of this year we here inm Maine need to have a clearly visible inspection sticker on our bikes.I was wondering if anyone here might have some photos for ideas on the best way to do this without it looking totally foolish.
Thanks

In RI, the sticker has to be on the bike, not the plate. Most put it on one of their rear shocks so it can be seen from the back. In MA, it has to be on the plate. Check with your local LEOs.
Here is several add-on options you can make or buy...

Yeah I just thought that if it had to be displayed now might aswell make it look as good as can be. Sounds like the plate same one the sell @ british customs would not look too bad.Just cant seem to find to many photos with them on a bike.
Thanks much

The inspection station SHOULD know where it has to go. When I lived in RI, the inspector handed me the sticker and told me to put it anywhere I wanted as long as it was visible from the back and that it wasn't on the plate.

none of my bikes have had an inspection sticker since the one they came with new or the one they had when I bought it. We are supposed to have it on the left lower fork leg. People used to put them on a small stainless plate so it isn't messing up the finish on their bike but they are not supposed to do that here now.

In MO they usually go on the back side of the front fork sort of tucked under the lower yoke.

This may not be legal everywhere. It's not legal in Texas I don't think, but I use it anyway....

Thanks for all the info.I did somemore reading last night and got the name and number of the state trooper in charge of the new motorcycle laws.Think I will just give him a ring to see just what they expect us to do.
Thanks again.

I wonder if the sticker would fit in a traditional tax stamp disk?

Thankfully North Carolina did away with inspection stickers a couple of years ago now. You have to get an inspection before you can renew your license. When I did have a sticker I mounted my inspection sticker plate on the front fork brake caliper bolt. I got my plate from a harley dealer for 5 dollars. Imagine that.
