Swamp Thing Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I've got my green book. Just a few days short of six months in the waiting. It's like winning the lottery! Well, more like winning a coin toss. So I'm on a white plate and I've got a tax disc. But where do I put the tax disc on a PCX? I've bought one of those clear plastic tube holders, with the intention of attaching it to the number plate. But, on reflection, it seems a bit easy for a light-fingered person to unbolt it and make off with it if I put it in that position. Are there any other places I could attach it that would be more secure? I've tried looking for ideas online, but haven't come up with anything. Or should I tape it to the underside of the seat with clear plastic tape? Thanks for any replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DILLIGAD Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I put mine inside/underside of my white plate using same fixings. Sort of hidden out of the way but still visable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankee99 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Mine is laminated and sits on top of my white plate screwed on with the white plate screw. Only have a issue when entering central festival as it partially covers the plate numbers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 best to have the tube, screwed to the side of the white plate, you could use a rounded ( screwless)headed bolt with 2 nuts, a bit harder to unscrew than a screwdriver headed screw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishcarlos Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Under the seat... Never had an issue.. As long as it's with the bike I'm 99% sure that is legal ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 2 bikes One visible and stuck to the "fishbone" between my legs using a sticky transparent square. One not visible, laminated and kept in my topbox. Both technically illegal. I have never had a problem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I've had a couple go missing. Not sure if they were stolen or fell off. I take a colour photocopy now and use that for the display and keep the original under the seat with a copy of the green book. Not sure if that's 100% legal but never had an issue. My latest one is in one of those tubes attached to the underside of the rear plate. See how that goes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll2 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 always under the seat. never had a problem. actually all those years of riding here and all those police stops, they never asked me any registration papers or tax disc! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramds Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 You are not legally required to have it visible on the bike, but you should be able to show it when they ask for it. Got mine under the seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've decided to go for this idea. I've attached a plastic tube holder to the number plate and put a photocopy in the tube. I will keep the original under the seat, along with a copy of the green book. A belt and braces approach. Thanks to JonnyF for the tip and thanks to everybody for the replies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewrooney Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I just keep mine under the seat with my other documents. The police have never asked for it. Maybe not 100% legal but they don't seem to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitawatWatawit Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Guess most people must be keeping the sticker under their seats. I've been checking out dozens upon dozens of bikes, and 99% do not display the sticker anywhere. Mine is in a plastic holder screwed into the side of the number plate - but it's too easy to be stolen, so under the seat from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttakata Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 People steal them. My old Nouvo had it taped to the fairing and someone took the time to cut it off my bike. It was expired; stupid thief. I suggest a color copy visible in front so the cops don't pull you over and keep the real one under the seat.

NoshowJones Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I keep mine under the seat in a small zipper bag along with my accident insurance. There is no safe place to keep a tax disc an a motorbike, without risking it getting stolen or wet with the rain. If the BiB don't like it too bad, just give them 100 Baht.

kbelyeu Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I'm on my 4th PCX and it has always been under the seat because I know a few guys that had theirs nicked.. My harley I have it mounted on the fount end but I don't leave the bike parked unattended on random Soi's. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP87 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Photo1010-001.jpg This is easy guys.............. Might also help to use Torx screws so you need a Torx bit to remove the screws as most thieves won't have a set of Torx bits handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furryman Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I always keep my papers for the bike under the seat. Get stopped often as there are random stops in Pattaya almost every day, never had a cop even raise an eyebrow at keeping the papers under the seat.
