Nope, atleast not in CPD's eyes. My buddy got poped for it, they said it has to be horizontal with 2 bolts and light, not vertical. But in the motorcycle manual for Ohio it only says that you need to have 2 bolts and a light, no certain position or location! I'm going to bolt mine to my jacket to please the 5-0.. I've had 2 unviewable tag tickets in the past 7 months... Thats why they call them pigs... !!!!FTP!!!!!

Ok, So if I make my own bracket, that mounts in that position; as long as the plate is horizontal, lights up, and has two bolts on it, it is legal? The position is more what im wondering about. I'd like to get an undertail and seat cowl, and mount my plate down by the wheel like that.
