don't take the test with anything installed that might not pass your state's MC laws.

I would test with the stock. Gives the DMV nothing to look at when you are there.

Use the stock.

Apes are slightly harder to control in slow speed maneuvers which is what the test is all about.

No brainer - leave 'em stock, why take a chance? Suspect you already figured that would be the best move.

Go with the bike as stock as possible, that way the driver license person won't not have a bad thought.
