license plate/inspection sticker location

When I bought my KLR I read (probably on this list serv) that the first
thing to do was to move the license plate and inspection sticker hanger
so it wouldn't get caught up on the rear tire.
I never moved it.
My rear tire ate the inspection sticker extension and the sticker.
Question: Where do you all put your inspection sticker? (I'm in Texas if
it makes a difference legal-wise that you know of.) I don't think the
sticker will fit immediately below the tail light.
Suggestions. Pictures.
Thanks,
Scott

Scott,
You're correct - each state is different.
In VA, the sticker is supposed to be on the LH fork tube, but some people mount them on plates located on the LH side of the bike.
Both my inspection, and county sticker are on my LH fork tube:

Having never had to deal with an inspection system, can you guys
explain what is inspected and what the sticker signifies. Also, what
does the county inspection cover that the state wouldn't? (Besides
double-dipping the tax dollars).

The dealer spens maybe 5 minutes checking the horn, headlight,
turnsignals and brakelight. Then charges $12.50 in Texas.

In Vermont, they do all that J Fortner said, plus they verify your
registration and insurance info, and they check the tires and steering
head bearing. In VT, the inspection sticker goes either on the Left
fork tube, or it can go in the left hand corner of the windscreen/
fairing if equipped, but most folks choose to keep it on the fork
tube. Less conspicous that way.

CW,
The state inspection for bikes covers the listed below. Below that are the links to the Virginia Code that outlines what its respective section covers during an inspection.
The county sticker has nothing to do with inspection. It's basically a tax sticker and you can't get one unless you've paid personal property tax on the vehicle.

Is this street legal? Probably not, but if it helps being noticed and
if the cops have better things to do then it looks pretty good.

PLEASE STOP THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If someone in the legislature in this crazy state of California
finds out about this all of us left coasters will get sucked in. I
can already hear the thought process........another way to keep
people safe (regulation) and a revenue enhancer (tax)...it's a
governmental no brainer!
