More recently, the bike has aged better than the rider

Yes, taken not so long after I bought it in April 1976.

Back in the day I used to mount my tax disc on a front mudguard stay.
My modded 400Four looked a bit bare on the left hand side so I got one of those copies from my bikes birth year and mounted it on the unused pillion footpeg mount.
Athame57:
After trying a few other places I've long since settled for mounting it just in front of the right rear indicator. ;D
Spitfire:
Nice one, looked at some more old photos and my first CB750 had the tax disc in the same place but on the left.
Cheers

I've always liked the tax disc, but not the holders though. Still have many from vehicles over the years as momento.
The holders though, shocking in crap quality usually :) shite paint that fell off in winter conditions, plate around the hole too big to logically fit into make bike architecture local to any convenient bolts realistic. Plastic enclosure type with no bolt spigot internal to the hole so it couldn't be tightened properly on a bolt securely that held something else important on your bike.
Sudo machined type with fake bolts and looking linke a porthole on an important pressure vessel, misplaced engineering "styling" akin (and close relation of) to those sculpture of miscellaneous parts badly welded together and given to people that are interested in bikes as a present, so that'll do ;D never excuse for crap welding, ever, ever >:( ;D
Probably just grumpy me though :-*
