Tax Disc Location
 

Going to go and buy a tax disc holder today and get rid of the stick on thing provided by the dealer.

What is the consensus as to the best place to put a proper tax holder on a 749/999????????

Cheers in advance

Er....in your wallet? In the documents pack at home?

Personally i think the locating of these on the side of a bike, and in particular a Duke, looks naf.

On my 998 i mounted it under the seat, but you cant really do that on the 999.

These days, its easy to see, whos taxed and whos not, i guess if you get stopped the only thing your doing is fail to display, and could get a £60 fine if wew were being pedantic!

I've got biposto converted to a single seat so I hang my tax disc holder off where the pillion foot pegs used to be.

tricky.

Nice idea but I have a mono. Everywhere I look at putting it doesn't look right (bit like what Andyb said) but I don't think its worth the grief of not displaying it, lots of cars being clamped now for failure to display a disk.

What about..take the panels off and the nose cone. There are several bolts on the nearside of the headlamp unit. I bet one of those will do............

I don't display mine because there is nowhere good to position it on the 999. Anyway after having two stolen - one hacksawed off on my 996 leaving scratches on the frame :(:( - I carry the disk in a small wallet with my plastic drivers licence, insurance slip, RAC card and DSC membership card.

Hopefully no-one would be that pedantic if I got stopped - so there goes that idea then. 10-1 I get pulled this weekend.

Where you gonna be? :lol::pig:

Not in Northants :P:P :lol:

Have kit will travel.............:pig:

i think this works well
secur,descreet and visible'ish
fitted to right side of battery holder in spare screw hole (M6 ?)

Yeah, i like that!

Never had a problem with how the disk looks attached to the bike. I bought a nice carbon jobbie (probably a Motrax or something) and fitted it by attaching it to the LH seat bolt sandwiched between the black plastic cover and the subframe

fitted to here,
seems like a spare screw hole (used on "R" ??)

Most european countrys road tax is integrated on the actual licence plate and is not a seperate documant that you have to fix to the car or bike, on german number plates for example it is a small disc that is adherd to the actual number plate the road tax and registration are dealt with through the police, failing to pay your road tax invites an visit from the local police who promptly remove your licence plates.

In Denmark, it is the same only no disc attached to the plate, you can only get number plates from the police station and new plates are requierd everytime you purchase a car\bike as they are registerd to the owner of the car\bike and not like in the UK an indication of the year of registration.

This system seems to work well as you cant get a number plate without you have paid road tax, taking the car\bike off the road is simply a case of removing the plate and dropping it off at your local police station, when you want to ride drive on the public road again you simply pop down and pick up a new set of plates,

This also goes for insurance, the insurance company inform the police if a registration is not insured, if the plates have not been handed in to the police you get a visit :)

I got two on mine, one as a heel guard and one stuck to back wheel:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Only trouble is the back doesn't go half as fast as what they claim.

Thanks for all the replies even the comedy ones.

Like the idea behind the fairing.

Cheers

in the wallet. im never more than 10 yards away from my bike when im out on it anyway.

If I remember correctly it's ment to be displayed on the near side and in front of the rider. But I keep mine under the seat for safe keeping :lol:

Ive got my tax disc holder bolted to one of the subframe mountings.Looks ok to me.
