I have been encountering a lot of "unique" laws in FL. Spy'd is right about the side mounted tag. Although I don't know how they are going to enforce it being that HD did make the Nightster for sale in FL which had to pass Federal regulations at the time of manufacture. It's like Myrtle Beach trying to supersede SC state law by requiring people to wear helmets. I got into a discussion down there over the validity of my SC driver's license. FL offers a "Florida Only" driver's license if you are a part time resident. They apparently have repealed a class "D" which is comparable to my current SC class "E" which is non-CDL over 26,000 lbs. They tried explaining that new Federal laws are requiring all licenses to have the same classification. They weren't happy when I told them that SC was already RealID compliant and that my class "E" was already valid. During all of this is when I found out about the different endorsements for motorcycles which apparently are not uniform state to state either. FL will recognize my motorcycle license and allow my to ride a trike and sidecar. However I need an endorsement in SC to do so. Both of which ironically will cost more $$$.   

I immediately thought of the Nightster also, but since the law reads 'attached to the rear fender' instead of 'centered', it may be that the Nightstes's tag attached to a bracket which is attached to the rear fender is considered compliant.  Don't know.  It just makes for a 'hassle' that is obviously  'picking on/bullying' chopper riders.  They also have targeted the crotch rockets with the new 'no wheel, rear or front to leave the ground' law.  spyder

no wheel to leave the ground!!!!!! on my hd sidecar the sidecar wheel will often float a couple inches up on slow speed right hand turns - so they are going to give me a ticket for that?

what next.

In Ill they would pull you over for that, because OF the modification.

That's like fishing with a hand grenade here in SC.

[LarryB]

Ok WTS, I see you have the curved plate holder, is it Kuryakin? and what happened to the light?

[wts]

it is kuryakyn   ...   new part   ...   found it under Honda 750   ...   but I think it's under Harley now

what makes it so clean is the light is built into the chrome frame

Kool, love the seat

[wenchal]

Yea, like that seat!

[BLM777]

Great looking seat ..... built on a Corbin Stinger pan?  Not sure I could ride it with that seat, however, as I'm not sure I'd be all that comfortable knowing the business end of a 'gator was riding between my legs.  Very scary thought!
