I have it rivoted to the side of the tunnel, have never had an issue at Alberta Beach, or anywhere. Flaps rip off to easy would be my argument. :beer::d

I riveted my plate to the tunnel on my first sled. Rode Cataract one day and when we got back to the truck the plate was gone.
I keep mine under the seat now.

With a little bending and tweaking I was able to mount mine in the left foot well on my XP. Not ugly and still arguably displayed to the rear.

ya but you bent it. thats defacing government property. jk
buggers will get us every time if they want to.
i leave mine in my seat pouch. never been asked for it yet. but have never been stopped yet either.:d
not sure how they figure its any good on the flap as the snow dust makes it invisible. and besides that how is maxwell supposed to mount his.:d

Ive been stopped and told to mount my plate on the sled as I had it under my seat with my paper work...I used velcro to stick it to my tunnel! Just get the velcro strips, mount on back side of the plate, then remove adhesive and mount! Takes 10 mins, has never come off and no drilling into my tunnel!

Have always put mine on my snowflap... usually it's covered with snow anyway, so that they can't read it. :d

That's what I've done in the past, but the flap on my new Pro-RMK has so many holes in it already I don't think I can do that this time. I'm going to be trying the "stuff it in the seat bag" approach this year.

here my plan for it.....minus the zip ties, picked up some velcroe today goidn to stitch it onto the bag and adhesive it to the plate....then it can be tranferred to the little tote bag if needed.....also can be removed when not riding to avoid theft if your worried about it.....

Since the 1970 Arctic Cat's, the odd Elan here and there, quite a few Poo's right up to an 04 Edge, a Powder Special, a few Rev's, and now 2 XP's, I have never lost or busted/broken a tail flap.

Why do we all get uptight about change? If the license plate is supposed to be on the back, so be it. Treat the plate sort-of-like a flag or your permit to ride....without it and the proper papers is against the law and the consequences are on your shoulders......enough said.

Not getting uptight about change.....Just saying if we had factory plate holders. I'm sure that we would diligently use them. On my Cat quad, I used almost a full roll of black tape to secure it to the back bumper.......No drilling required.

Auto makers, make 2 different styles of front bumper's. 1 for the Provinces/States/Countries that require front plates. 1 For those who don't.

Why can't the recreational industry step up tp the plate???
