You can't buy a new vehicle out of state and register it in CA if you reside in CA. A "new" vehicle is any vehicle with less than 7,500 miles on it. If you're relocating to CA, you are exempt. Active military are also exempt. The Lo's I find here have more miles and folks want more money for them. Pisses me off so bad I may move to Reno for six months, buy a bike, register it, then move back...maybe. I've followed this thread since 2010. All the work I did or had done was a direct result of help and advice from folks like Sgt JIM, ILMFBL, YOUNGNEG, KOJAX and some others. I've gained invaluable knowledge and saved lots of money. Some cool folks on here...except for Misbehaven. He's got absolutely no idea what the hell he's talking about.
Jk dude

I was hoping it would end up looking like something a Ringwraith may ride. Far from done with it.

That's great, I knew it was something simple, just could not pace the fix.

Funny how DC Volts works...

Haha, ok noted. I honestly didn't even notice them until you said something. I will probably end up going hard bag route but we'll see.. Here are a few pics of the floorboards moved up 3"

It was unrideable without the extensions for me. 34" inseam and stock location felt like sitting on a toilet. I'm currently modding a stock engine crash bar mount locations so that I can keep it and add highway pegs too.

Thanks for the welcome boys!

Thanks for the pics. I may have to pick those up at some point. I don't feel cramped on the bike, but I do find myself resting my feet on the forward-most area of the floorboards, so it may feel more natural to have them pushed up a bit.
