It does not make a difference.
Go get the stock parts from Scuba Steve.

The bike looks nice.

The license plate in that spot is very dangerous to ride once you start cornering with the bike leaned over. Once it hits the ground, it can lift your rear wheel off the ground and down you go.
As a new rider you probably have not learned the proper body positioning for cornering yet, so the bike may lean more than necessary in the corners.
Get the plate relocated ASAP for your safety.
take whats there and bolt it to the under tail plastic. since when is this rocket science? I must say, this thread did make my day.
Benny! Comes outta retirement with another zinger! Lolztake whats there and bolt it to the under tail plastic. since when is this rocket science? I must say, this thread did make my day.
Right at the start of the black plastic under the light is completely fine. as long as it can be seen.It would still be technically too far forward. Now she has a note in her file for a license plate mounted incorrectly they won't be as cooperative next time. If scuba steve can give her the original system for free, she is in great shape.
Slow week at work.Benny! Comes outta retirement with another zinger! Lolz

wow - I now have seen it all. How are you going to lean on a right turn? or is the plan to never lean pass 10 degrees?
Whomever moved that plate there is a total ice cream rider.
This whole thing is a non-issue. Op has sold the bike and is currently shopping for a different bike.

Some cops are using this on you cruiser guys:I was pulled over for this last summer. Bufort T. Justice comes flying after me with his siren and lights on his OPP cruiser, storms up and throws out a litany of complaints to me. He's complaining about the size of my turn signals, and where the plate is (mounted sideways on the left side of the bike). I explained to him that the lights (marker lights from a semi truck) were DOT legal. Then he starts talking about the plate. I asked him to find me the section where it says its illegal. He runs back to his car and calls in to HQ. He's flipping madly through the pages of his copy of the HTA. Then he walks back to me, no section cited and no ticket in hand. "You know you guys on the bikes really take a chance with those small lights...I'm sure that plate shouldn't be like that etc...I'm not going to write you a ticket etc...I gotta go..." And he zoomed off, but not before I mentioned I would be prepared to turn the plate horizontally. So I did. That's it. It's still on the side of the bike. I was waiting for the ticket so I could go to court with it. There's nothing wrong with a side mounted plate. Nowhere in the HTA does it say specifically that it is illegal. The law has to be clear. The plate must be displayed clearly, which it is. The officer had no trouble seeing it and running it. The argument that you can't see it from one side of the bike is grasping at straws. You can't see a properly mounted plate from the side of any bike.
Same old Ontario where they don't like anyone having fun. If I had fought it and won the OPP might have ran to the legislators to get a specific amendment for no good reason whatsoever. It's just complaining from a bunch of old fuddys.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to get a sticky lettering to cover the "Ontario, yours to discover" and cover it with "Ontario, where fun is illegal." Technically, it's not concealing as the plate numbers are still visible. It certainly would send a message to the Government of Ontario, as well, you'd get the attention of Tourism Ontario. Hit them back where it hurts - money!
True enough. LolIf OP didn't revive this thread for no reason, this whole thing would be a non-issue.
Some cops are using this on you cruiser guys:
Additionally Section 13(2) of the H.T.A. states:
"Every number plate shall be kept free from dirt and obstruction and shall be affixed so that the entire number plate, including the numbers, is plainly visible at all times, and the view of the number plate shall not be obscured or obstructed by spare tires, bumper bars, any part of the vehicle, any attachments to the vehicle or the load carried."
So those side mounted plates that can be seen from the left side of the bike are now being targeted as well, with the argument that the plate is not at the rear most of the bike, thus is being obstructed by the rear tire if viewing the plate from the right side.

As for sportbikes, if your plate isn't at the most rear of the bike you will eventually get pulled over. That's a guarantee.
