When I got the bike it came with a clear taillight with no light for the plate, is it illegal to not have a light? Now I moved the plate to the swingarm does anybody have any suggestions on a light for down there ?

 

you really should check with your local law enforcement. every where is different as far as plate/lighting requirements. here in cali riding with the plate where you have it would get you pulled over fast as hell.

generally the plate must be visible to the officer, be illuminated and have a red reflector

 

Yea same here, crusiers seem to get by with it but sportbikes get hasseled alot with tag locales. We dont have to have a reflector on it tho. Far as lightning it. try a lighted tag bolt, theres an ad on here that has em or google it.

 

Thanks fro the info guys.

 

just get some tag bolts as mentioned but it is illegal to have your tag where it is . any state . main rule of thumb have all your paperwork str8

 

I ran into this problem. So I took my light out and cut out the bottom section about 1"x3" then replaced it with clear plastic. So then the brake light would act as a plate light too...

 

How is my plate illegal there ? Most cruiser type bikes have their plates there also, you can buy the same thing that I made for the F3.

 

The reason it's illegal is because it's not illuminated.........that's all.

 

if you put it in the stock location with no illumination i wouldnt worry too much unless the cop really feel like being a dick...then your screwed even if you have everything right, you arent speeding, and you even give him a friendly wave...i dont have a light on mine, and i dont worry too much.
