In texas we have inspections like alot of other states, WV also. When I was at DucPond dc asked if I could get the plate that holds the sticker. they mount to your license plate. If anyone else is interested in getting a plate or 2 let me know. I will find out exactly how much they are, but from memory they are under 5 bucks. Here is a pic of it on my bike, plus no more stickers on the forks! [thumbsup]

FYI I picked up a plate at a HD shop that is bolted behind my rearset, using one of the main rear set support bolts.

I VA it must be mounted on the left side, right behind the rearset has worked for me. I have SS plates for IS on all my bikes. - Gene

I used to have mine on a plate on the left side of the frame just down from the tank. A state [leo] gave me a stern verbal warning that it is "required to be on the front left fork." He was not amused when I asked if it could be on the rear left fork. I have not heard of anyone else having issues as long as it was on the left side.
I need one for agent Tad. My bike is tagged in MD.

not what the statute says:
http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+46.2-1163 (http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+46.2-1163)
QuoteIf the vehicle is a motorcycle, the approval sticker may be placed on a plate securely fastened to the motorcycle for the purpose of displaying the sticker or in any other location designated by the Superintendent.
Doesn't require a specific location as long as its visible -- do you have a reference?
We gotta have an inspection sticker? [bang]

he'll post dimensions soon enough..
don't assume every state license plate is the same size, they vary somewhat.

what about for VA?

I'm in WV so I'm not sure?
are you making them yourself? if so, i'll just measure mine and let you know. they are big here, usually go on the forks but i loathe putting them there.
No I'm not making them. You can buy them at any TX motorcycle shop.
OIC..
probably not gonna work for the VA state inspection then.... :-/

Not to be a killjoy, and the question has been brought up earlier, but a Virginia state safety inspection sticker will DEFINITELY NOT fit on the plate in the above photographs.
Yep, what he said. Go to any HD shop and get the right thing, also Winchester Motosports had them in SS, they work great on left side behind the peg platform or rearsets, but what do I know. - Gene
okay I received 2 yesterday from texas and here is what they look like prior to mods. If anyone wants 1 or however many let me know and I can order some. they now come in 2 colors black and not painted at all. they are 5 bucks each. here are the new pics:

P.S. All that said, still a better solution than wrapping the damn sticker around a fork leg!
AMEN to that!!! [thumbsup]

i don't like putting stickers on the fork, they are a pain to remove.
i'm not sure but i think you might ahve that wrong, it looks like the tx plate is the same size as the VA plate or there abouts. remember the posting above shows inches and metric on the tape, i think when you said the tx plate looks like" 9 inches" you meant around "9 cm" big difference.
i'm not sure but the exact dimenions of the black portion and the va instpection sticker has to be compared better again. I think the VA inspection sticker "might" just fit on that black portion possibly.
Here are DC's sticker dimensions, which are a bit too wide for that plate. Is VA's too tall?

If I get pulled over, can I just point to the nub on my left fork where my aluminum plate got sawed off and stolen? When I later got an inspection in DC, the inspector didn't know about the missing plate but handed to me the paper with extra stickies and said, "Here, if you find a good place for it, then go right ahead." Will I get into trouble for keeping the sticker on top of the mapcase (w/garage remote and toll tag) that is with me at all times and therefore cannot be stolen from the bike?
it looks like it might be close? ??? so is there anyone who whats one? if there is I will order them next week. If not its all kool! 8)
