Title: License plate holder (For those of us that are required to have one)
Post by: Krandall on September 22, 2008, 01:59:09 PM
I talked to Shawnz and got the okay to post this here, because I've been looking for a way to mount my license plate so it wasn't in the way of the brake light :) and I got yelled at by the Mn DNR for having it mounted on the front.

QuoteI added a backing plate for the inside of the under tail. I used steel but some thick enough plastic should do the trick as well.

I added some adhesive backed foam between the bracket and the plastics too.

Very nice. You need some nylok nuts for that. It would look better than 2 hex nuts and hold better too. :thumbs:

Randy, don't you have to run a rear number plate off the grab bar for racing?  Couldn't you just use that ???

xc races we get a number/bar code assigned to us placed on our helmet I can't find a pic that really shows it. but it's placed on the lower left part of the main part of my helmet. Numbers not required for XC though.

no.. I'm talking about a plate to ride on state trails. Colorado thought I was talking about a number plate for racing. :)

Minnesota we're required to have license plates like pensylvania. :thumbs:

So can you ride it on the street? Or even for off road use? Any idea if I could ride it on the street "legally" here in Missouri?

no idea, you'd have to check what the requirements are to legalize a vehicle for road use.

Yeah a few buddies and I got caught riding some back roads by Hi-Po and they gave us a big ticket well numerous ones. Totaled out to be 350 bucks and a day off work for court. She said as long as we had a "slow moving triangle" and a flag we could ride any road that wasn't marked as highway or interstate. But I don't want to risk it and get in more trouble. But last year we did wait til it snowed and road down the highway with our paddles on, cops couldn't catch us.  8)
