FAN f*#@$&%-TASTIC...
Thats a bummer man. I've got mine installed on the controls too. I just recently switched em back to orange covers. Looks amazing! Gonna do a few more subtle orange accents to complement em. Hope you figure something out other than stock location.

Anyone who has been overseas in the military in the last couple decades has heard the anti-terrorism / force protection briefs about not calling attention to yourself and trying to blend in. Its good advice. **But, when you get on a bike, please wear this bright orange vest that only military people use!

Maybe the camera is with your jackstands and pry bar?!
Sorry I don't have anything more productive to add.

man, that does suck. although, I know where he's coming from. I was an Aviation Safety Officer and had to "enforce" bullshit rules. most of the time I'd look the other way, until the old man caught wind of it and chewed on me....
would it be possible to put the set back on the bars with quick disconnect electricals? run both sets on post. then spend a few minutes to pop the "military approved" ones off for off-post riding?

Some commands (PACAF) still require the road guard vests and much more. Don't get me started... Even if they want to discourage riding among active duty (the real reason for these "safety rules"), you would think they could just leave the retirees alone. I've been putting up with military motorcycle safety rules for 25 years for two reasons (1) I love motorcycles & (2) If I don't ride, they win.

Over here in Germany we have a big ole USA on our license plates to single us out as Military. Most riders ignore the bright/reflective clothing. I was even asked be a German why we wear the "Fahrschule" vest. Fahrschule is drivers ed and they have to wear bright vest while the instructor follows on another bike or in a car.
But for the original post if the bike passes state inspection then it should be good to go.

I would buy a set of the stock clamps for a quick disconnect windshield ($32 each at the dealer) and mount a set of stock signals on them. Wire up a convenient little harness with a couple plugs simular to a battery tender plug and they are quickly just on and off for riding on base.
That would probably be your easiest option I would think.
