No idea. Usually pass them where the roads start to turn and then I can't be bothered to wait for them to catch up. ;)

^ This. Generally, if it doesn't make the bike more comfortable/faster/better, I don't do it.

Having said that ... I do own a motorcycle in which the license plate is not attached to the stock bracket (modded for drag racing that I've never had time to do, but that's another story). The wheel won't clear the stock fender ... had to cut that shorter, but the plate is mounted to the two holes that previously held the license plate lamp (up a bit higher), I used a couple of LED license plate bulbs, I bought a red DOT-marked reflector and made a little bracket to hold that above the license plate, I left the stock rear signals and side-facing red reflectors in place in their original location. At first glance, it looks OEM. The license plate is still on the back of the bodywork - that it is sitting an inch higher doesn't change its visibility. Everything is there that is supposed to be there and everything that has to be DOT-marked is, with the one unavoidable exception being the mud-guard issue, and I've never, ever, heard of anyone being ticketed for that. The wording of the mud-guard requirements in the HTA is so vague and poorly written that you could argue that the stock rear fenders on all motorcycles (all vehicles?) are insufficient to comply. Given the number of times that I've been blinded by spray coming off of fully mud-guard-equipped transport trucks on the road while driving in the rain, there is probably a fair argument that there is no possible way to fully comply with the mud-guard requirements in HTA - hence why no one seems to ever gets charged with this.

What used to be money spent on plasticy bits and 'eliminator' this and that, has turned into full suspension upgrades, mods for better ergo's, rearsets, bar risers, etc etc etc.
 
It all depends on the cop really... i have had peel cops at a light right in front of me and behind me and they never pulled me over and my plate is in the exact same location as the pic and my plate is also bent a lil too.
I have also been pulled over for speeding and the cop didnt mention anything.
 
Quick question: does insurance care about this ticket?

Wtf it has nothing to do with operating a vehicle?

I thought there were certain tickets they don't care about (red light camera, parking tickets, etc.)

This can vary, from company to company, however not having a vehicle that complies with safety standards is something that an insurance company might well care A LOT about.
 
My plate is located at the same place as OP's. I was at the red light with the buddy and got harrased by bicycle cop woman that did a loop around us and then pulled up behind LMAO.
"I ride too and this is illigal...I can't see your plate." she said

I said that she was the first one to bother me about it, then light turned green and we just sped off into the night like free birds...caw caw caw
 
Just for giggles, this is how the motorcycle section of R.R.O. 1990, REGULATION 628 reads (emphasis mine):

(4) The number plate for a motorcycle, motor assisted bicycle or trailer shall be attached to and exposed in a conspicuous position on the rear of the vehicle. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 628, s. 9 (4).
