Rego Sticker Placement.

My rego lable holder was attached to the rear chain guard bolt. It looks so much better with it not being there so I want to mount it somewhere else. Where have you found the best place to mount it ? Are the tube holders legal in QLD ? With just about every cop car scanning our regos on the road for "history", its a wonder that we need have them on our bikes anyway.

Mine is now mounted on the front chain guard bolt. Much less vib and flex there.
This is the first bike I have had my reg on display. All others have been under the seat without a problem

Just read the rego receipt more closely, and the clear tube holders are NOT allowed. I think its kinda silly. It must be mounted on the left side or the rear, so a cop on the opposite side of the road cannot see it anyway. If your stopped for a check you could pull it out from under your seat, just as you have to take your license out of your pocket. Why cant the lables be half the size for m/c's ? instead of the big ugly thing that they are ?

Not legal in QLD . no good under the seat either . I was told by a cop this was o k.

That looks good on the naked Gus, but I'm guessin' that the law would not allow that behind a front fairing.

That sticker is a pain .

I can’t believe I’m saying this but the Pommy Tax Disk attached to the number plate is the best way to go.

I really don't understand why we even have to display the rego label these day. The authorities know before they pull you over if your vehicle is registered or not.

ditto. I think I'm gonna go the " Gus App " Looks tidy there and doesn't stick out like dogs b.... If I ever get pulled up and asked about it, I will say that Gus said it was OK.

what is a rego sticker.
WA lost them a few years back, surely WA can't be ahead of the ball game in something can they.

So what do you get to prove that your rego is current ?

WA in this case stands for Way Ahead and not Wait Awhile!

Straight from the policemans mouth .Question-Is this o.k. ? .....Answer - Yes.Just make sure you turn the bars so it show's if you get pulled for something .

The popo scan your numberplate or type it into their mobile computer in their patrol car and the info is on the screen

in SA we no longer have labels either . I think the cops now have the technology so your rego number is all they need now / be interesting to see later how many people forget about it with no label to remind them although we still will get our renew notice .

In WA you can check you rego expiry online and they send a renewal out about a month and a half before it due so there should be no real reason to forget, but then again.....................

My only real concern is that when we are traveling out of the state and get pulled over for any reason, does the other state have the same resources to check rego or do we get held up for an hour or more while they use pigeon mail.

Yea they were saying on the radio the other day we can check our rego on line but you raise an interesting point about interstate police /I don`t know

Well I suppose all other states will follow suit. Some bean counter probably worked out how much the state would save if it didn't print lables. I know the police here have the in car techno'

Yes I did. I wonder if the state law is different in NSW.

possibly /looks neat though . On my last bike I made one using clear plastic hose, 2 rubber pole ends as caps & a couple of modified hose clamps as brackets . I had that mounted under my rego plate & never got chatted in SA .must have been ok here too .

In the nt its just a sticker on the number plate

I too made one that I used on my Blackbird. That was back when they even sold the tubes in m/c shops, so I assumed thay were legal then. Guess some non biking do gooder thought better of them and had them outlawed here in QLD. My partner still has one on her V Star. I better change that too.

Here is the relevant section of the NSW registration papers. Notice it doesn't prescribe the shape of the holder, but all yours are illegal and mines not.
