    Default inspection stickers

    for people that live in states that require inspections on their bikes, where does the dealer or inspection station place your sticker. my dealer put's it on the top left A arm and so far i have lost two of them. i watched them clean off the area b4 putting it on but i still keep loosing them.
    it is either a bad batch of stickers or i am just going way too fast
    NO BIKE AT THIS TIME

    I normally put mine on the left lower A-arm; I don't know if that should make a difference or not.
    This could be a case of surface preparation being a bit careless...
    I think that there are "adhesion promoters", that help make surfaces stickier...

    The sticker on my 2014 got slapped on the swingarm out back, and it's staying put just fine!
    But slow down anyway!!

    Maybe wrap the sticker with some of that clear packing tape that comes on a roll like duct tape. That stuff is a "bear" to get off when you put it where you don't want it.

    Default Let's see..!!

    back when I worked in Texas they had an extension on the license plate backer. Seeing as most put them anywhere why not make a wing off somewhere special for it.

    Use a couple of clear wire ties to keep it in place.

    John,
    Have them wrap the stick around the leading edge of the A-arm cover. That way, the sticker's leading edge won't be in a position of being peeled-back by the air flowing over it.

    Every state seems to be different,my state LA,crooked pain in ass, but as with most bikes we keep with paperwork,only on base do they need to see 24/7 , g'luck. If the inspector dont know laws for it, not good signż!
