So my upcoming project will be a hardtailed XS400 bobber. After reading the requirements for state inspection, I am finding that there is stuff required by my state (NH) that I do not want to add to my bike build. Mirror, muffler, speedo, and horn in particular.
Now I have ridden in NH for years without any inspection sticker, and never got caught. It's common knowledge that cops just don't take notice... Unless they pull your ass over. Here is where I start to get concerned.
In the years of riding without a sticker, the bikes I rode were all stock and modest, tame bikes. Nothing out of the ordinary. No one really took notice. Since I'll be building a bobber, I expect it to turn heads a little. Cops have heads too. I don't feel like getting jacked up for not having it stickered. So what should I do?
What does the New Hampshire contingent say about this?
I'd love to have open pipes, no mirrors, and no speedo. Can anyone offer some advice?
