So, loosen the two screws holding the nearside pillion footrest hangar. Take out the rearmost screw. Slip the holder bracket between the hangar and the frame, with the tax disc bit pointing to the rear. Put the screw back in and tighten.

Holder is tucked up under the seat fairing, nicely visible, but out of the rain and spray and not too easy to steal.

(see other threads about whether to display a photocopy and keep the original in a safe place)

that is where mine is..
however it still gets slightly wet- hence- its a photocopy(with copy- orig with rider) and the original is under my seat in a clear waterproof zippy up bag from partners...it annoys me actually as they spend so much on the advert telling you that they now know via the computer if u aint taxed.so vice versa!! so why have to display it !!!!

Jenni- make sure if u put the orig there that it is secure- lose it or get it nicked at they charge you £7 for a new copy !!!

NB- Old pic from last time this issue was raised- my bike IS taxed I assure you !

oh and I am proud of my chicken strips too- an issue I have defended in the past !!

Hi Jenni,

I picked up my new ride only a few weeks ago and could not believe the manufacuters part- Not even tupperware. It was mounted on the front chainguard screw whis is a standard philips screw. Not very clever.

After a trip to J&S Accessories, I returned to fit a lovely colour matched Oxford Tax Haven using the the rear bolt of the left pillion peg mount which of course is a hex key job.

It's now easier to see and keeps the disc up high and tucked underneath.

Sorry no pic for now.

Cheers,
Garry

Thanks all, I put it behind my left footpeg to start with but think i might move it now. I like the idea of keeping it drier

If you are going to get done for it deing behind the foot peg you will also get a ticket for having 2 eyes. :roll:
