Title: Location of Number Plate
Post by: codajastal on February 08, 2012, 12:39:31 AM
Dont know if this has been asked before BUT can some friendly Aussies tell me what the rules are regarding the location of your number plate?
I was thinking of purchasing a relocator and removing the rear fender from the GS but couldnt find any info regarding this. Im in QLD.
Cheers
Steve

Also note that depending on where you ride and how bad the cop wants to fine you removing your rear fender can get you fined.

Cops around here are pretty anal so I may have to re-think and just do a half chop instead of complete
