Tax Disc

[koifarm]

Santa dropped off a repro tax disc and holder, where's the best place to mount those little things....I've got a summer screen in the way of most of the possible mounting locations.

I have one mount on the front brake bolt.

I have one mount on the front brake bolt.

Thanks 5Bassman, I'll have a look at that place tomorrow, I'm still researching locations and am looking for something that would have been period back in the day.

On the left side is period correct.

Here are some British tax discs provided by one of our friends in the UK for you to print to achieve that "authentic" look.

Sorry to go offsubject but I'm curious how much you've lowered your bike and if you like it like that 5bass, thanks. Jason

Hey Thanks Kingbear!
That helped a lot, was wondering what to put in the little boxes and your post was a good source for info.
I'm headed out to the shop to install the disc and a couple of other goodies santa dropped off then go for a test ride to see how the tax disc affects the aerodynamics of riding. I might have to crank in a couple of turns on the trim tab.
So, I ended up putting the disc on the left front mudguard support (upper) and it looks great there! Test ride generated data and a slight pull to the left over 136 mph but nothing that can't be overcome.

Koi you better run it on the dyno just to make sure the A/F ratio is not altered. Post a pic so we can check it out.
