I'm going to get a license relocator kit and I have an Idea of which type I like.
Just wondering what the community thinks. Which of these 2 types of license relocator kit do you prefer? (please presume there is a horizontal option for the swing arm mounted type)
I live in Arizona. We can do anything here. But seriously, I checked to state laws. In this state, it boils down to: plate on the rear, securely attached and clearly visible. There is a part that says 12 inches off the ground that may be a sticking point.
But let's assume there is a horizontal option.

ARS 28-2354. License plates; attachment
(L96, Ch. 76, sec. 7)
A. A person shall display the license plate or plates as follows:
1. For a motor vehicle, motorcycle, trailer or semitrailer, on the rear.
2. For a vehicle for which two license plates are issued, the vehicle owner shall display either of the following:
(a) One plate on the rear.
(b) One plate on the front and one plate on the rear.
B. A person shall display all license plates as required by subsection A until their lawful use expires or is canceled or revoked. A person shall maintain each license plate so it is clearly legible. A person shall securely fasten each license plate to the vehicle as follows:
1. To prevent the plate from swinging.
2. At a height of at least twelve inches from the ground to the bottom of the plate.
In that case you're good to choose whichever style you like. I like it under the fender, although my license plate is no longer that big. This was taken in Europe...
Yours looks really awesome I can see myself going exactly the way you did. Of course I don't base my choices on what others think. But I do like to know what others think.
In Australia they have determined that it must be visible from a side view of not less than 40 degrees from both sides. I would further check the laws n your state.
Greggs stainless are the best mounts they mount to hub he sell both styles I have the vertical one installed them on both 9's I have owned with no issues also the come with a light too
In regards to side mounts and state laws, how would the side mount style affect you riding into a state that requires a fender mount? Wouldn't this give them a reason for you to be pulled over?
I guess they could if they wanted to be ash-hats... They can cite you for improper of license plate. You can possibly fight it based on whatever state laws apply to wherever your vehicle is registered but in the end it will be up to the judge and it might be more to fight it than to pay for the citation.
I'm using a Baron Custom. The quality of the mount is excellent. However, after installing it per their instructions, I decided to go back and make a few changes. My custom install of the Baron Customs is in this thread:
Another AZ 9. Pretty soon we might have enough for a group ride. I have been running Gregg's verticle plate for several years and havent had an issue at all in AZ. Have also ridden in NV, NM, TX, AL, MS, WV, & VA and didnt have an issue with the verticle plate either.
I really like this one... It's for Harley's but perhaps you can make it work with some modification or by tapping a few holes for under the fender mount.
I don't like side mounts at all. Chose to make my own brackets so the license plate could be tucked up so tight under the body, it's almost invisible. Trimmed the lower edges to make the plate smaller as well.
Got this one from Mean Cycle. I like it cause it allowed me to use the light as a running like or brake light. I used it as a brake light. One more thing with the side mount since I have the Bullets for turn signals on my bike when I lower the air ride I have to be careful not to drop it all the way cause it hits the side mount.
This is what I have. Same thing as some companies charging over $100.
If you search around, you may find em like I have, for $20ish.
I bought my bracket, and 4 turn signals for under $50, shipped. Been on my bike over a year now, NO issues.
Glad I didnt buy one for $100+ when its just this simple. And I like how it tucks up closer, giving it a much cleaner look.
Old thread, but might as well use it as an excuse to post another picture since I have a slightly different set up now. old picture, but newer than the thread and this one was handy.
