Motorcycle inspections
Coming from the great state of Karlafornia, I wonder if motorcycles will ever be subject to emmisson inspections? The reason I ponder this downer of a subject is I am sitting here trying to figure out if I should modify my dresser with a set of Rineharts, PC111, and a K&N filter. I really do not need an increase in power as I am happy with what I have, and love the mileage I currently get, but I am kind of a noise junky. One thing is for sure I am getting to old to want to put all the stock stuff back on the bike every couple years to pass an inspection. Are there any states that inspect bikes? Seems like I have seen inspection stickers on bikes before when I was traveling around.

RE: Motorcycle inspections
Don't recall exactly what it said or the site it referenced; but if you get a copy of Mar 2006 Biker there's an article about it.
From what I recall it's not there yet but it's coming soon!

Who knows... sure looks like there is enough garbage in the `06 regulation to squeeze in emissions testing; at least from that year model on... since there were few enforceble standards before then for bikes, I'd guess/hope there will be a model year cut off like there is for cars...
I'm bettin' Evo's will escape...

I think this is a subject nobody wants to think about. If you Google Motorcycle state inspections you can come up with some stuff that other states are doing. I'm glad I don't live there

RE: Motorcycle inspections
Here is one from New York State
* Approved lights, including headlight, taillight, stop lamp and license plate lamp, at least one red reflector on the rear and directional signals if the motorcycle was originally equipped with directionals or is a 1985 or newer model.
* Brakes, on 1971 and newer motorcycles brakes are required on both wheels.
* A horn or other warning device.
* At least one rearview mirror mounted on a handle bar, although mirrors on both handlebars are strongly recommended.
* A suitable muffler, "cutouts" or mufflers with removable baffles are prohibited.
* Handlebars no more than 15 inches higher than the seat.
* A seat for the operator and a passenger seat in the rear if a passenger is carried (no more than one passenger is permitted).
