Before someone chimes in with a friend of a friend who does inspections, they have to be licensed for motorcyces to inspect them.

So, does anyone have a license to inspect motorcycles? I have a bike I need inspected.

There are reasons it might not pass… which is why I’m here, and not down the road at the bike shop.

I guess I should have stated that bluntly to begin with… lol.

depending on age it covers even less

so why wont it pass why dont you say why, also most people ride around with no inspections anyways and no licenses so do you really need an inspection? i get mine inspected every year but apparently thats the case^^ when i went to my ride with pride course i was the youngest kid by 20 years and all the adults were riding without licenses and the proper paperwork

what’s not legal? paperwork or equipment?

and what specifically do you think is not legal if its equipment? what year is it? it’s probably exempt from most inspection points

Im currently in the same boat here guys. I wanna get my chopped honda inspected but not sure if theres anything that might fail.

Its a 74 honda cb450 with NO turn signals or liscense plate light. I did install tail and stop light obviously and it still has working horn. tires have great tread but there a little dry from age, but holding air great. sooo, im not sure if anyone can help a brother out here.🙂
