Where to put license ?

[yamadoo]

Was wondering where you found the least hassle and best looking place to put the license numbers?

I put mine on the black area by the front A-arm suspension.

I don't have a pic cause mine is still at dealer for warranty crap, but I got mine in the same font as the graphics and paced them in front of the lower graphics on the side panels where it says viper with the white backround.

I also put mine on the bulkhead behind the upper a-arm. Doesn't stick out but legal and it sticks to the painted surface way better.

here's a pic that kinda shows it.

You know the painted area would stick the best, but I love in MN too and I have been pulled over a few times and I never put numbers on any of my sleds and have never been asked about them once! Like I said before. If the license bureau didn't give them to me when I got my registration I ain't putting them on!
Not saying your not suppose to, but I never have and have never been ticketed for it or even asked why I didn't have them! Best thing just act stupid!!

That's probably why I get away with it

NOS....in reference to your pic of the Nytro....do those little light thingys on the front bumper work well??

The CSS safety light was a good invention...but think it faded out as I don't see many people using them. I have had this on my Nytro since new and I like it! If my boy is coming down the trail, I see the CSS light almost before I see his headlight. It's that bright! The light makes it easy to pick him out from the other sleds. Also, it lets others know if there are other sleds behind them without having to take their hands off to give them a hand signal. I am colorblind and it makes it easy for me to know if it is yellow or green by the way the LEDS are positioned.

With that said, I was flying down the trail in front of my boy and was way ahead of him. 2 sleds came out from off-trail and were in front of him. Usually I look back, see a headlight coming and I keep going. I looked back and didn't see the CSS light so I pulled off trail. The 2 sleds went past so I waited. Come to find out my boys hands got cold so he pulled off to get some handwarmers from his backpack.

So, to answer your question...I think they work great! Not to say you have to buy one, but I am seeing other riders put different light designs on their sleds so they can pick their friends out from other sleds. Its all about communication if there is someone behind them or not.

I can relate the communication thing...and knowing where your riding partner(s) are...especially in Wisconsin. I remember I went riding down there for Eagle River Race weekend and the trails were of total insanity. Buddy and I got separated in the dark amongst a gazillion sleds. It would have been nice to be able to distinguish who was who while waiting for sleds to go by.

I see sign in the u.p. explaining them in areas. When they came out...chingching! I bought one as well. Mine did not hold up to my riding.

I also have a bright white LED light on the backside of my helmet. Not only does this help picking me out of a group....but it works awesome for the ones following me in snow dust conditions where the tail light is not visible. When the light disappears, it ether means a corner or hill so it gives the riders behind me a better chance of knowing whats going on ahead of them. Examples are tight corners, bumps/whoops, hills and of course in mix ups of other sleds.

two more features of the light I have is that I can remove it from my helmet and use it as a flash light if needed and here's something I can say might save a life....but if I would ever get thrown off of the sled, I hope my light will warn other traffic so I won't get run over.

Very easy and cheap, but priceless when you have it

I had them on both my RS/Nytro and my RX-1.......neither "lived" more than 18 months and they wanted a TON of $$$ to replace the heads.......I threw them both away.........good idea, poor execution........
