I love my Rocker. The only hideously ugly thing on the bike is the HUGE Blue EU European license plate. It sticks out like a sore thumb right on the back end of the bike. The license plate is the huge 6"X6" square POS.
Any EU Rocker riders out there figure out a way to relo their license plates to a less conspicuous location? Thanks for the input....

Snoike..

 

If you believe that the italian plates are huge, you've never seen a german plate: 11"x8"
Those plates easily could have an own zip-code

 

I don't have the answer, but it gives me the chance to ask you a question. I will be trying to get back to Germany soon, what are the restrictions on exhaust mods, and does it apply to US Forces under the SOFA?

 

Maybe this would work? http://cgi.ebay.de/Kennzeichenhalter...item19b1590288
It's rear axle mount. I had one of those on my street bob and I think that it was a quite good quality...

 

So far as I could research, positivly YES

And be assure: German TÜV can't take any joke especially if it is related to noise emission and bikes

I'm a bit worried myself, as HD is sponsoring a Poker Run in Garmisch at the end of August. I plan on having my aftermarket exhaust installed before that, so I may run into some trouble with the Polizei while I'm there for 3 days.

 

Garmisch is worth the ticket!

They consider you to be in violation, thus you can't use the bike like that. If they want, they can immobilize the bike until an original or other TUV exhaust is installed, or you arrange to have the bike trailered.

If you go on the EU forums everybody is worried about this. The law also applies for foreigners. Wouldn't be the first one to have his vacation ruined because of loud exhaust pipes.

 

get you a government plate from the base and they should leave you alone.

 

Man those plates are so big that you could probably go body surfing on one of them...
What do those little vespa type scooters use?
