State inspection
#21
Same thing in Virginia. Any state inspection facility has to be able to inspect all vehicles that cross their door if that facility has the ability to repair any defective part that causes the vehicle being inspected to fail the inspection. I can take my bike to a car dealer/maintenance shop to get inspected but, I can't take my car to a bike shop because they don't have a lift to repair or replace defective brakes, exhaust, etc.. My understanding is if the vehicle has a safety related item it has to be functional and in good working order. If I added additional driving lights to my truck they have to be operational even though they weren't on the vehicle when it was produced. I'm not sure if the reverse is true though ie I removed one of my two mirrors that came stock on the bike like the OP's brake system missing one rotor and caliper. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.Check with your State Police to see if this is the case.

In the UK a new vehicle requires its first test after 3 years. After that the vehicle has to be tested yearly.
I have seen almost new cars that have no right to be on the road they are in such a state.
To try and avoid a safety check what we call MOT test seems odd to me. For me it weeds out some of the idiots who don't look after their cars. The others don't care and carry on driving illegally!

I stopped to help group coming back from Yuma run. I was in my PU with tools. Best people I ever met. I mean that.
Laws have not changed except helmet. Because Gary Busey cracked his head open drawing media attention
Come to San Diego. We’ll take you on some awesome rides. But bring your helmet.

Got to laugh TX requires inspecting bikes by the government, but not CA.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if they did away with the inspections here. I don't see that they serve any valid purpose.

ive seen some scary cars on the road, that not even wouldn’t pass other state inspectiosn...but should be compacted:
- broken windshields that could not be seen through
- color tape over broken lights
- multiple lights & brake lights burnt out
- tires worn past the belts
- wheels wobbling in all directions
- bouncers that clearly have no shocks...why is that cool?
Oh yeah, regarding the op...there’s a reason HD put two calipers on the Road King...and it wasn’t to balance the look.

100% agree with you. Saying they aren't very involved kinda supports the argument that government doesn't do things very effectively. Make rules, pass a law, accomplish nothing worthwhile but they feel good about themselves and strangely a lot of people think government is the answer to everything. Baffles me.
I like Texas and it is generally a very good place, but make no mistake, Texas has plenty of liberal garbage going on.
