straight up your local poiliticans A$$! :lol: 

I would put it somewhere that doesn't see any mud. :thumbs:  But being california, and no real mud, go with a spot on the frame.

What's a green sticker? That basically the sticker each state has that shows you paid your yearly taxes to ride the quad you paid for with money from your paycheck that you already paid taxes on?  :mad:

I think it states to put it on "the left rear quadrant"??  so in the old days I would put mine on top of the rear fender but since the quads are high in the back now due to longer travel I put mine under the fender where it  easy to see I only ride sand so they dont get covered with dirt and for sure dont look ugly on the tops of my fenders  :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Wait.. we are supposed to register these things and pay sales tax?!  :rofl:

Not all states require you to register them, and not all states have sales tax.

Hell ya  :cheers:

I put my sticker (they are white in Washington) on the lower left of the rear plastic, right above the heel guard. Inner part of the fender, of course.

Good choice, mine is under my seat where the tool kit is. Never decided where to put it, and didnt really want to. So I stuck it under there. If they get mad, oh well.

I prefer to keep mine visible. I don't want a LEO approaching me 'cause he can't see my sticker. That just opens the door for them to write tickets, like violating noise restrictions. I'd rather try to avoid them, not attract them!  :lol:

Yeah well mine was never peeled its still like new under my seat, ive never had anyone say anything about it. They ask me where its at, I show them and thats the end of the convo. I guess it depends on the person you get.

I frequent the Oregon Dunes. They have a 93db limit for exhaust. Obviously I can't pass that, so I try to stay as low as possible on the radar.  :lol:

Thats why they make rules and laws for people like us to break.  :clap:

The ATV and MX community have a bad enough rap with environmentalists /DNR / forest service.  Although we'll never see eye to eye, we should always make an attempt to be good stewards of our sport so our kids can enjoy it someday too.

Thats what I am thinking.  There has to be a middle ground, they want it in plain sight and I want it out of sight.  May be the swing would be the best place.  Just don't want to have to get a new one every time I wash it.

In Utah, we have to register our quads.  We get a sticker that must be put on the quad.   I made these plates and attached them to the fender bolt under the front fender right behind the lights.   I got one on each side..

They must use different adhesive than they use for my stickers. Mine are on there! Never had a problem and I use a pressure washer quite a bit.

As far as the stock stickers go..........those flew off the first time I washed the quad with my pressure washer! Oh well, I didn't really care for them anyway.

I agree......to a point. It's pretty sand when my stock raptor 660 couldn't pass the sound test. It tested at 94db (over the 93db limit). I understand the idea behind noise restrictions, but there should really be some compromise here too. If I remember correctly, the stock exhaust on an '08 KTM is 94db.

Left rear fender their is a place for it. In California it has to be in plain sight. You will be stopped and hassled by ranger if they cannot see it. Heed what Colorado said about offroad vehicles and the PR problems we are faced with. It is not that big of a deal!!!
