Yeah, I will NEVER go to my local DMV for clarification!! Did that with a 74 Dodge Powerwagon mud truck that I had replaced the doors on. On those trucks the VIN tag was on the inside of the drivers door and when I swapped doors, I changed VIN's. Well being the responsible citizen I drilled out the VIN tags from the OLD door and carried them (rather than the whole door) into the DMV to explain my dilemma. IF I were to get pulled over AFTER the door swap my registration VIN would not have matched the vehicle. You should have seen the DMV clerk's eyes PPO OUT when I placed those VIN tags down on the counter.......Long story short, my vehicle was impounded by the troopers and 2 hours later we came to an agreement. I ALMOST lost my truck that day!@! NEVER AGAIN.
I will ride like I have always ridden and SHOULD never have a problem.....We will see.

building my bobber, I tried to put a horizontal plate mount on there but didn't like the way it looked at all. changed to a vertical mount and will take my chances. Hell, I rode around for years with a paper copy of my tag for my license plate because MD tags were oversized and would not fit in aftermarket plate frames... never had a problem with that, not anticipating any problem with this either.

Sounds illegal, around here we call them "Trooper Tickets" because they are usually the only ones who will write you one.
