Side mount taillight/license plate

[gs650girl]

So I'm thinking about putting a side mount (vertical) license plate with taillight on my gs650gl...anyone have one or done this?

No. I don't need to make myself more visible to the cops. I don't want any contact with LEO. Reason enough not to mount the plate vertically. Why ask for trouble? When it comes to the law my theory is 'stay invisible as possible'.

I have to say that personally, I agree with Jim. Invisible is good, and there are a lot of places where a vertical or oddly mounted plate will get you stopped and questioned like a Hell's Angel on the way to an Al Quaida meeting. There are a lot of people still living in 1950...

With that said, it's up to you. If there's a thriving custom scene in your area and you've seen a lot of these around, the cops have probably already figured out they have better things to worry about.

So if you're putting on a new tail light, I think you absolutely MUST get one of these cat face tail lights from CRC2:


Look in the electrical/lighting section at:

I have mine vertically mounted under my taillight. But it's a historic tag so no one bothers me here.

maybe not here?

lol hmmm probably not. Well maybe I just haven't heard about it or maybe the Minnesota cops just don't care because my bf has one and he's been pulled over for burn outs and speeding and he's never gotten anything for it. I don't think it's a big deal here. I should probably check the regulations on it though.
