Pete, very cool bike, and like the rest of us who still risk the street you have encountered our little problem...we want to be legal, but the taillight/tag holder that comes stock with the bike completely destroys the lines of the bike. If ya can keep yer cool, bring your ticket to court and take pics of the tag as it is from left, right and straight on from the rear. Most states have the wording in the law to mount the tag in the rear most position possible, if your bike, like mine, has the undertail, then the rearmost position is right where you put her. Please dont think I'm trying to bash my fellow boyz n blue, but I also am tired of seeing good guys being treated like second class citizens cause they ride bikes. And as has already been said, dont risk lying for a quick fix, cause the local law will remember for next time, and your integrity is worth more than $40 bucks. Art. (hey,wheres the scratches and road rash on the leathers???)
