QWR believes that registering your off-highway motorcycle
(and other OHVs) and properly displaying your state’s particular vehicle
identification decal in the required manner in an important part of managed OHV
recreation in the 21st Century.
Modern OHV recreation management is a complex formula that
includes appropriated monies for trail construction/maintenance, dedicated
recreation staff, volunteerism, grant funding, support from line officers,
resource protection, conservation efforts, restoration projects, safeguarding
cultural sites, use of sound compliant exhaust with spark arresters,
appropriate levels of law enforcement, and proper placement of OHV-related
vehicle identification decals.
In California, the state OHV decal is called a “green or red
sticker.” The CA Off-Highway Motor
Vehicle Recreation Division (OHMVRD) states that for [off-road] motorcycles the decal shall be placed on the left fork
leg, horizontal or vertical, visible from the left.

Over the years, QWR has seen CA green/red stickers placed
behind front number plates, inside the airbox cover, on the frame, under
the seat, or inside a side cover.
Proper placement of your OHV identification decal helps
the sport in a number of ways. It shows
other riders that you value high-quality OHV recreation and the ongoing efforts
by agency staff and private sector advocates to keep trails open. Following decal placement instructions also
shows law enforcement officials that you have paid your “E-Ticket” to enjoy
managed OHV recreation on public lands.
Please take time to read the placement instructions that
should accompany your new registration decal.
We know that often you are in a hurry to get out and ride, but taking a
few extra minutes to place your decal in the appropriate location will help
ensure that OHV recreation has a bright future.
*ROVs/SxSs are not specifically mentioned in CA law but
sticker placement should mimic other four wheeled vehicles.
