For the uniqueness, can you try for registering it on 11/12/13? that will be a fantastic date and ur resale values will not matter much because any sane thinking person will know the case. Side Mounted Registration Plates are not approved by law Sir. |

Absolutely not. Number of Mahindras have side mounted registration plates, so does some previous models of Endeavours and other similar vehicles. Harley gives the side mounted plates as OE options. Anything illegal would not have been supplied so. |

Thats what I thought so as well. HD would not allow anything that's illegal (at least the basics) |

Dear Dheeraj & Shubz, Have attached the CMVR Act 1989 which specifies the location of Number plate and its dimensions. I have not read any verbiage that says it allows the Side Mounted Number Plates. Now would leave it with your assumptions to deduce if it is legal or illegal. Attachment 1174932 |

Nope dear, I did not miss anything. The side mounted plate is mounted on the rear of the vehicle and it is nowhere mentioned where on the rear. So its is perfectly legal. Unless you once again want to make a mountain out of a molehill, which most Harley critics do. |
shall be displayed both at the front and at the rear of all motor vehicles |

Please do apply some thought and think how can a side mounted rear number plate which is sitting on the axle of rear tire be called as rear mounted number plate? Would leave it with you and your understanding capabilities. PS: Am no Harley Critic and if you look at my ownership log, I had made a booking for an Iron 883, long long ago which I was forced to cancel just because the dealer could not keep up his word. |
