Dear Mr. Slater: In reply to your letter of July 9, you are correct in assuming 'it wil still be permissible to illuminate motorcycle license plates from the bottom even after January 1, 1973.'; The installation requirements of Standard No. 108, as set out in SA Standard 587d, License Plate Lamps, March 1969, do not apply to motorcycles and motor driven cycles.; Sincerely, Lawrence R. Schneider, Acting Chief Counsel
