I remember awhile back that Florida had a new law about side-mount plates being illegal. Is that still the deal? Does it apply to Out Of State plates as well.?

My 9 will be plated in Georgia, but I plan on making several runs into Florida....just want to avoid the hassle.

I can't see if your bike has out of state plates, that Fl can ticket you for side mount.
I'm not in law enforcement so I can't give a solid answer. Just my own opinion

It stated at one point that your plate had to be horizontal, but it was amended to state that it could be horizontal or vertical, but it could not swivel or rotate positions. So you can run your side-mount plate without being hassled.

They sure can. It is your responsibility to know the laws of the state you are in, wither it is for a visit, or residence. I got 5 tickets one year in Sturgis. I also got 2 in Wyoming on the way back from Sturgis. And they where stupid laws. Handle bars too high, bike too long, pipes too loud, no MC endorsement, and speeding.

Sounds cool to me. But if I do get a ticket for a side mount.....

"But officer, this guy I know told me that the law was repealed, so you're an idiot".......:joke:

Fl statute 316.2085 removes the words horizontal to the ground from the law

I thought in Oct of 2008 they passed those new laws saying that side ways license plates were $1000 fine, along with wheelies and 50 or more over speed limit?

Ok, found the info, yep, the vertical mount law issued in Oct 08 was overturned in Apr 2010.
