what do you guys think the chances of not getting passed inspection without them? probably not a big deal huh? I would think the chrome fork on my deuce would shine as much as a reflector.. just wouldnt be the right color

Thanks guys,

I wouldn't think it would be much of a deal with the inspections, most places wouldn't even notice them. Unless you took it to a dealer that was a hard-*** and knew they were there to start with.

Where I'm from they have to be on for pre registration inspection, I took mine off but run the risk of being tagged if pulled over. Friend of mine works for inspections and said I have about 5 violations on my bike.
