the suspension i totally understand about, and will be my next upgrade to the bike. tires i will probably hold on to until they are worn out completely
here, it could be only one. depending on the officer he has the ability to write a few different things. there are 4 options really. a normal ticket, at $176, (3 tickets of any sort in a year and your mandatory insurance policy with the government monopoly provider, goes up)
second is a box 3 (best case imo.) written a ticket, but given the opportunity to fix it and the ticket gets ripped up.
box 2, vehicle requires an inspection at a government certified facility, within 60 days. anything not meeting government criteria must be fixed before passing. this includes any pipes that are louder than stock, moved or aftermarket non-dot signals, brake lights, oil leaks, ect. plus the plate ticket, repairs, and $150 for the inspection.
worst case scenario, box 1. this is typically only used for rolling scrap heaps, but i have seen one given for worn out door bushings. same as box 2, except no 60 days. vehicle gets impounded, towed in, towed out, towed to a shop for the inspection. impound rates are $30 per day, plus tow, starting at about $100. so, box 1: $176 ticket, $150 inspection, MIN $100 tow in, likely 2 days storage to arrange an inspection, $60, tow to shop (tow out starts at $60, $90 for bikes) repairs at shop $?? thats $586, minimum, before you pay for the shop to do work that you could do on your own just fine
that being said, i have been pulled over for a vertical plate, and rode away with just a $176 ticket
a friend of mine got pulled over with a fender eliminator kit on his ninja, everything else stock, got a box 2, and was out about $600 when it was all said and done

i don't think that an illegally mounted plate would void your insurance, that's a pretty minor thing, I think you could argue that the two situations are completely unrelated.
that happens here, if you are drunk and get into an accident, ICBC (Insurance corporation of british columbia) has the ability to void your policy, because your impairment likely caused the accident, when this happens, because your insurance company argues with the other party's insurance company as to who's at fault, and if it goes to court, they argue in court with lawyers about this, if ICBC voids your insurance, you're left to be told you're at fault, and if you don't agree, you have to go after ICBC in court, filing your own paperwork, paying for your own lawyer ect...
shittiest thing about this, if you are driving a 50,000 truck, and yours, and the other vehicle off (lets say a 40,000$ one) you're n the hook for 90,000, and your insurance isn't going to cover it! this, of course, is if there are no injuries!

When I took a look at the Pro Street the other day at my dealership I found that especially the chin spoiler is very bulky, e.g. compared to the one from Thunderbike. Plus due to it's open front and inner shape etc. it's very likely to collect loads of dirt...

I was just looking at a black S this weekend at the Palm Springs HD dealer. the chin spoiler is indeed pretty blocky. jmho... I do want the hew air filter element, nicer looking than the round cage on my present one. the base mount at TB for the new air filter is gigantic though. what's up with that? the upper fairing is not bad looking either. I just can't get over that small front wheel.. ;p
standard chin spoiler?..please share...your right tho it is alittle bulky but i think it would look better on a bo with a 21...that damn small rim ****s that bike on looks anyways....the dealership in az is doin one with a 23 front on the cvo ps..ill try to get some pics before they sell it

Need some help with this. Is there anyone running one of these bob dron fairing on a breakout. Love the open bike but I need a little wind protection. Don't really want a big batwing fairing. Thanks.
