Brake Pad Posted April 20, 2012 #1 Posted April 20, 2012 Working on my letter for my up coming trip. The only thing I have to work on is the States, Both Canada & the US. I plan to paint them in, as an out line, then add the colors as I go alone
djh3 Posted May 5, 2012 #4 Posted May 5, 2012 Why in the heck Fla insists on that huge plate on a motorcycle trailer. Just kills it man. We had a trailer for our bike in Ok when we lived out there oh 20 yr ago. Didnt even have to have a tag on it as it below a certian size. I made one out of scrap alum in shape of Oklahoma and put it on the back. I guess no way to hide that beast. Trailer looks pretty stylin though.
KeithR Posted May 5, 2012 #5 Posted May 5, 2012 Not only Florida has that huge plate......same in Newfoundland.....seems kinda silly to be so large! Keith
Brake Pad Posted May 5, 2012 Author #6 Posted May 5, 2012 and the registration is more then the motorcycle tag, 48 for the trailer and 42 for the bike
djh3 Posted May 5, 2012 #7 Posted May 5, 2012 OH my, I just looked at a registration for my 16' car/utility trailer and it was only around $45.
Condor Posted May 5, 2012 #8 Posted May 5, 2012 Not only Florida has that huge plate......same in Newfoundland.....seems kinda silly to be so large! Keith Yep, always thought that about California too.... It would be great if they made a small plate option, or motorcycle trailer designation in the title so we could get the smaller plate....
Flyinfool Posted May 5, 2012 #9 Posted May 5, 2012 Fortunately, Wisconsin does not require plates on trailers under 3,000 GVW. YET!!! STOP giving them ideas. It will be interesting to see if I have any issues this summer pulling an unplated trailer thru states that have plates.
Thom Posted May 5, 2012 #11 Posted May 5, 2012 Fla. has a small plate for M/C trailers , you have to ask for one , the down side is you can only pull the trailer with a M/C , can never be pulled by a cage . I have had one on my trl for the last 3 years .

Thom Posted May 5, 2012 #13 Posted May 5, 2012 so far , was going to change it to texas , they wanted a 168.00 !! not !
OutKast Posted May 5, 2012 #14 Posted May 5, 2012 In virginia, you can get the small tag for any trailer under 3000#, but you have to ask.
flb_78 Posted May 5, 2012 #15 Posted May 5, 2012 It will be interesting to see if I have any issues this summer pulling an unplated trailer thru states that have plates. You can be stopped and cited for it.
Brake Pad Posted May 6, 2012 Author #16 Posted May 6, 2012 I kidda like the BIG tag, It has my old call sign on it from the PD.

Condor Posted May 6, 2012 #18 Posted May 6, 2012 If you have another trailer that requires Wi Plates, put it on the MC trailer, and go have fun.
dacheedah Posted May 6, 2012 #19 Posted May 6, 2012 I had to argue with the people at the DMV in Illinois that MTA is a trailer type, it's just motorcycle trailer. I showed them, told them how to run it and they argued with me, I convinced one of the girls that knows I was a LEO. Finally they took my paperwork and bet me it wouldn't work. Guess what, I received my MTA plate , it is just a trailer plate the size of a motorcycle plate. . . Always investigate it, it is just not that common .
Brake Pad Posted May 6, 2012 Author #20 Posted May 6, 2012 I just sent a request to the DMV, on changing out the Trailer tag for the size of the Motorcycle tag. So, I hope I can do this.:mo money:
Brake Pad Posted May 7, 2012 Author #21 Posted May 7, 2012 DMV's response CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONSE: Thank you for your inquiry: That is the only size licnese plate that can be used on the trailer. We hope this information will assist you.
