I don't think the toad is really even required to HAVE a plate on it.....and would be more concerned about not having the plate on the towING vehicle obstructed.
Your Millage May Vary on that.
While it is true that some states do not, and others do not under specific conditions.
For example: IN Michigan a automobile (Car) that is not operational need not have a plate when towing.. So my 1992 Lumina had an officer pulled me over I could have had him get in start it up put it in drive put the speedometer up to say 60 mph and .. The car is not moving, Clearly the car is disabled and thus under Michigan law does not need a plate..... however.... A trailer does,, Some states a trailer or at least SOME trailers (Auto dollies for example) does not but the car does.. Weird? you bet, But that's law for you.
I never carried the bike on the towed, I carry it on the hitch gear (motor home) works better that way.. I also moved the plate on the motor home to a location where it is very visible
