@@x-man5056 you have absolutely no metrics to determine how many accidents are mitigated by more sound… only the common sense that if you make noise, you garner more attention.
@@JKaiserable I do understand dopler effect. If you are driving at hwy speeds, almost all of your extra decibels travel out in a cone behind you.

Thats a shitty motto. Just live your life as you choose to and dont bow to any agendas people might try to indoctrinate you, like this motto up above lol
CA lets people split lanes because the bike cops were tired of waiting in traffic and cant justify splitting with lights on all the time. That and the state doesnt give a shit if you die.
in germany your mirrors "have to fit a circle of 78mm in diameter inside of them..." if they don't do so our state will mobilize half it's police forces to stop you, impound your bike and fine you depending on their state of mind -_-
When I was working at a motorcycle dealership, I asked a cop who was getting his tires changed about LED strips on bikes. He said it's legal to have em in whatever color you want BUT you can only ride w them on if they are white or amber ONLY. This was in south Texas. So on his advice we started selling lighting kits that could change colors so customers could ride with amber or white lights n then change them to a different color when they got to where they were going n wanted to show off their bike.
I usually wear a red LED ring on my backpack. I've had a lot of cops ask me where I got it when I'm stopped. I've seen more riders with one lately. Being visible is always good. No idea if it's illegal or not but since it's a solid red not a blinking I don't think it hurts anything.
I put a small white strobe on my R3 centre running light. It looks discreet and is not super bright, but I hope the movement is a bit more visible in mirrors, especially on dark early morning freeway commutes. It’s technically not legal here in Alberta, but I’ve passed several cops even at night with no issue. It’s not bright enough to be distracting, and being white it doesn’t impersonate ant emergency vehicle. After all, bicycles are allowed to use them...
There are plenty of illegal plate kits, but there are just as many legal ones, and it's not hard to do it properly. Check to make sure before buying: -It has lighting for the plate -There are mounting points for turn signals (if your bike mounts its signals on the tail) -It has at least a rear red reflector Lights are the same thing, it's not hard to do it properly. _Always_ avoid blue, and avoid red unless you're doing a supplementary tail/brake light
The Yoshimura kit for the Busa keeps the plate visible and doesn't affect the rear turn signals, because, Busa. And a rectangular piece of DOT red reflective tape adhered to the flat surface above the license plate gives me some reflectivity to the rear and doesn't look as obnoxious as the stock rear reflector.
Cops giving you a hard time about GoPro on the helmet is stupid. I heard from a cop: "it can fly off your helmet so its a potential hazard so put it on your bike".....but what if it flies off the bike? Isnt that the same thing? smh
@@chrisgraham5186 From my experience ....no. I have both. The Helmet cam is going NOWHERE. The tank mount? Thats more suspect actually. Its suction. Now are there are professional bike mounts you can put on a bike that are secure? Sure. But a helmet mount isnt as flimsy as 'lick n stick' as you put it. The point was that if any of them can fly off the bike, its the same potential danger said cop is talking about so those cops are talking out of their ass.
@@budgiecat9039 Cops often do talk out of their arses… I only wondered if that was his line of thinking and that if it's on your helmet, whether it's more likely to hit you, or distract you if it lets go. (Mounted to the bike, it just falls off.). You might know what you're doing, and will make sure it's secure… but I've met some total dipsticks in my time who don't have a scoobie (like the idiot who'd made some saddlebag supports, mounted to the top and bottom shock bolts… on a twin shock bike).
The license plate visibility and lack of mirrors are most likely the only two things that you would need to be concerned about in most states....in my humble opinion as a recently retired officer.
@@sir.636 It's going to depend on the laws of your state. A kinda-storta rule of thumb would be to park your bike, walk back around 20-30 feet and see how visible the numbers/letters are. If you can clearly see the plate characters, you most likely be good to go. If your state has the small registration stickers on the plate, see if you can make out the date. Also, some states require license plate illumination, so, if you are planning on riding at night, make sure that there is a light for the plate. The bottom line is, If it is reasonably visible, chances are, you won't have a problem. But, keep in mind, there are officers out there that will stop you for stupid things like a plate that isn't displayed in accordance with the law. I used to stop people that had plates tucked way up and screwed to the inner fender, which made the plate barely visible. But, just about everything else, I didn't care.
the federal regulation on helmets only pertains to construction of helmets sold(or what conditions manufacturers need to meet to be legal). not street legality. it's a common misinterpretation of the law by police looking to ticket riders. Unless your state has added specific laws regarding fins/spikes etc. And especially if you're ticketed for a go pro. Might be worth fighting the ticket. (don't argue with cops... odds they'll respond aggressive or abusive probably go up. don't admit to a crime just take your ticket then dispute it)
About those mirror deletes. I broke the left mirror on my bmw k1600. I had to ride it home on the freeway. I refused to ride it again until the replacement mirror arrived and I installed it. Looking over your shoulder in freeway traffic is a recipe for disaster. Keep those mirrors
Reflectors are specifically designed as "retroreflectors" this means they actually are designed to shine light back in peoples faces. They internal shapes that redirect light perfectly back to where it came from. This means that they will light up with the power of a car's headlights. If you are worried about not being seen these are a very good thing to keep.
Its a hold over from when the mva's got made. No one is going to see a reflector on a bike. Oddly enough all new pedal bikes come with reflectors by law which are technically required yet literally everyone takes them off.
@@corail53 just because everyone removes them doesn't mean that is the smart decision. Reflectors on bikes are the same technology as road signs. If you can see the road signs then you should see the reflectors. If you can't see the road signs then you shouldn't be driving at night.
For Colorado riders. You have to have 1 mirror, a horn, reflectors front and back, dot tires. I'm pretty sure any led that's not blue or red. You can use hand signals so blinkers aren't really needed. Lookup the Vin inspection sheet and should tell you most
Leon Jordan I thought it was “trumpet” not siren? And there is a similar effect that some planes had because of the recessed gun ports and barrels.. Kind of like when you blow into a straw. Edit: Or over a bottle top.
ironically, there's no requirement for turn signals, only 1 mirror required and only a single rear reflector in TX. there's no emissions check either, no ones checking for a fucking cat-converter ;)
I have a 2002 SV-650, that's so cool that you're giving one away!I've been seeing some older ones in great condition being locally sold, it's a great bike!
Same here. Sure, you get more vibration but not usually enough that you can't tell how close that Honda Civic driven by the teenage girl on her phone, is.
Underglow Lighting in NY is a bit different. You can have any color you want, but it cannot be strobing or flashing. It has to be one color or static. If you have any flashing/strobing lights while on the road you are considered a distraction and you can be fined, towed or even arrested (Red/White/Blue).
My bike got stolen and partially stripped in '07. I had to put it back together on the cheap and sorta forgot turn signals and a speedometer. Been running almost 14 years without either and don't really miss them. I started using hand signals and honestly feel more aware and have had less "close calls" when turning or changing lanes.
Loud pipes DO save lives. I had a very loud V-Star. Nobody ever tried to change lanes on top of me. They knew I was there. I upgraded to a very quiet VMAX. People frequently change lanes on top of me, because they don't know I'm there. Hearing a motorcycle causes a driver to look for it, before changing lanes.
@ffsgdfSgDsv iyknavDdvsa Being a motorcyclist, when I hear a motorcycle, but can't see it, I look for where it is. I can't be the only one out there that does that. I can't look for a motorcycle that I can't see, if I can't hear it.
Loud pipes saved me 2 times in the last 2 weeks. I was in a parking lot looking for a space when an old guy was backing out of his spot,he was 5’ away, I blipped my throttle as soon as I saw him, way faster than I could reach the horn button. He stopped and continued on, a close call for sure.
One thing I didn’t hear covered in all the reasons to not do these things is that all of these factory deletes make it all that much easier for insurance companies to not pay out in the event of an accident.
I've seen some newer license plate kits that are spring loaded and set to that when airflow gets above a certain point it allows the plate to push back and up, usually around 70-80+ mph depending on the bike. Considering messing with "airflow" in that area of the bike will not slow you down at all , there really is no need to tuck it up anyways.
Although I don't condone hiding the plate, I study engineering and aerodynamics and disagree with your airflow statement. It creates substantial drag. Unfortunately motorcycles in general are have a terrible coefficient of drag (A Hayabusa- long time the most aero bike, now beat by CBR1000RRR was similar to a full size pickup in drag coefficient). So alot more than flipping the plate would be needed to make it somewhat efficient, but a 'more legal' fender eliminator kit is a start. I ride in a tuck even at legal highway speeds, and it's pretty easy to beat the manufacture's MPG rating, but not when I'm sitting up.
1. Some bikes have a TourPak/Trunk that blocks the plate from the factory. 2. Some bikes were built before mirrors were mandatory by the DOT. 3. Cobra NH series been in 30 states with these and never pulled. 4. Custom Dynamics X flasher for brake lighs. 5. Replace reflectors with LEDs in same color. 6. Remove factory lollipop and replace with Custom Dynamics Bagz. So when you going to ride a Iron Butt?
Great fun! Love your approach of quips of delight. Good job Sir! I'm 69(er) and ride a Yami FJR1300. The rear fender 'liner' (with plate bracket etc) was AWOL - first thing I replaced. It was a PITA!
When I had my rally style Acerbis fender eliminator on my 250 Rally, the body shop told me they'd have to grab me a "Not for road use" sticker from their shop. After I paid they went to grab it...I just left. 2 years later, never had an issue with it; hand signals baby!
I'm 71 so I'm an old man too. I try not to think about it or look in the mirror too often. I've had my share of ''loud pipes'' tickets, and I deserved them. What I can't wrap my brain around is the knuckle-heads and their sub-woofers in cages, NOT getting tickets.
Quick tip, instead of getting a flip up plate just put clear skateboard grip tape over the numbers, it makes it not reflective and cameras can’t read it at night
This made me realize how illegal I made my bike. Tucked plate, full system, no reflectors, flush signals. Now let’s just hope my local cops don’t notice..
It's a lot quicker to briefly shift your eyeballs to look at your mirror, than it is to turn your head all the way around to see what's behind you. In that split second when trouble arises do you really want to look backwards to see if someones tailgating you, before you slam on the brakes to keep from hitting a big deer in the road? A tenth of a second vs 5 seconds, choose wisely, your life may depend on your decision.
God, my brother put flush turn signals on his sports bike, and I absolutely hated them. I'm the "bring up the rear" kind of rider, and I could never tell when he was turning, when he was just weaving/drifting back and forth... I loved how visible my turns signals were on my K6 Gixxer1000.
As for the turn signal portion of the video, i love, love, love the mirror integrated signals. They look nice and, imo, are safer than body mounted ones. I also love the rear foot peg integrated signals. Again, they look amazing while keeping you safe. Im all about safety lights on motorcycles and if they can be integrated into something already being used on your bike, then yee hawww. 👍👍😎👏👏👏👏
The helmet thing is wrong. If you read the law it states "from the factory" it only works with things mounted FROM THE FACTORY if its anything thats you put onto it without compromising the rigidity of the helmet its ok. A lawsuit about this happened a bit ago when a guy got arrested for a gopro. All charges were dropped.
In colorado we can have drop clutch diesel trucks, raw twostroke dirtbikes, oil burning tractors. But the second our cats go out in our 1989 Toyota FX16 commuter, all hell breaks lose.
When it comes to headlight shine, do the blue lights only look blueish to the viewer, or do they also shine blue light ahead? If they only look blue but shine white light, they should be good.
M Novo I had mine covered with blue film.. looks so nice but does cast blue light. Kind of sketchy in a dark canyon but I don’t ride much at night and my state requires daytime lights. gets a lot of attention but no cops yet 🏍 💨 👮
The fact is that the helmet protuberances one is a bit of a grey area. In most US states, this rule is included in the construction and use regulations, not user regs or road use. This is dealt with in a video by the "Audit the Auditor" channel on YT. As for the rest of the world (ie; Europe); I've never heard of anyone being pulled over for having a GoPro or whatever on a bike, in some countries (Russia and places like the Philippines etc.) video recording is highly recommended to avoid insurance scammers.
I leave my motorcycle stock. My first motorcycle was an ‘08 Suzuki GSX 650F I bought brand new in ‘09. I kept her stock except for the seat. The front and rear turn signals were stalked. Looked fine to me everything looked fine to me. I had her for nine years. My car a 1997 Eagle Talon TSI AWD. Black, was literally rotting because I loved riding so much. I finally sold to her a kid so that she would have a good home. I traded my Suzuki in for my new bike. She was born on April 6th 2020, a Yamaha FJR 1300es. She is so beautiful. I have added a bigger touring windscreen because the original was made for small Japanese men. I may buy a custom seat but that is all. She is AWESOME. Stay safe folks and be ATGAT!
DOT approves helmet design for manufacture. That is to say if a manufacturer designs a helmet that DOT approves, such as a helmet with a visor are legal even though the visor sticks out further than the 2/10”. This is because the helmet was tested with the visor for both safety and aerodynamic functionality. After market add ons like the Mohawk have not been tested and could cause the wind to catch when looking over your shoulder ending your ride in a bad time.
In my state, Nitrous Bottle Refills is a full thing at one of the Car Repair Stores so it's definitely proof that it's legal. I still prefer pure driving skills so NOS and/or Boost will only be a last resort for me such as when I need to get in a hurry somewhere fast if my vehicle's speed isn't working.
With the exception of extra lights front and back, appearancewise, my FJR1300 is completely box stock: mufflers, reflectors, etc. My bike spends a lot of time on the road all over the USA and I do not want to spend extra time trip planning. The only thing I have may be technically illegal is my Sena 20. Oh, and foam earplugs.
In Texas to pass motorcycle state inspection it's JUST a safety inspection. (No check engine lights, mirrors, lights work) means you pass. No smog test or anything like that compared to a automobile.
My R1 has a full system, red pilot lights, mint green turn signals, and I can tuck the plate so the numbers are down. I'm emissions exempt and cops haven't even bothered.
@@0s0sXD Money's worth? Sure? I got it for $12,700 before tax and for a leftover from 2018, it was a steal. It needs to see the track when I have down time. A little much for the streets and it's my daily. Is owning it a life threat? I've got self control, sorta. Well, most of the time. No danger other than a few distracted drivers and close calls. I love it.
@@0s0sXD The gear is if you can't justify it. I don't plan on making it a hobby to ride on track. Just to experience it. My buddy goes to a drag strip and races. Busa Boy, but sadly no turbo.
I totally agree with the exhaust loudness, however I also don’t. I think that having a louder exhaust is beneficial because when they hear you they know you’re there. It can be safer
I think helmet makers should be installing rear view heads up camera views so all it takes is a simple head turn to scan the entire rear terrain. Got used to looking through a helmet mounted mirror when doing bicycle touring. It was so easy to adapt to the process of monitoring what was coming up behind me to where it was second nature. Having it in a rear view helmet camera with night vision would be a game changer. I added reflective tape in distincive patterns that blend with the body lines of my bikes and helmets. The patterns I made with them leave no doubt I am a motocycle rider and bike. And not near as offensive to look at as those stupid round and rectangle reflectors.
I'm hatin on your exhaust doesn't save lives comment. I was nearly getting run into daily because cars couldn't hear me. As soon as I changed to exhaust to a louder one. It didn't happen nearly as much
That's where 100% of (beginning) riders are wrong. Let me explain: You're nearly hit because you're either not seen (small profile, black clothing etc, drivers not looking) or you're driving in someone's dead spot rather than drivers "not hearing" you. Most dumb reason to get an after market exhaust ever invented. Drivers are not hearing you because they drive in a closed off vehicle with good sound-insulation. So no use at all to go for a loud exhaust. Have a nice day and ride safe! (Y)
@@jeroenvanbroekhoven7325 your being pretty generalized there. I have been riding 20 years and this only started happening g when I bought a pretty quiet bike. I have been directly beside drivers and almost got ran over.
@@youknowwhoiam1314 Not really understanding your comment about me being generalised? I ride four seasons a year (spring, summer, autumn and winter) From rain to thunderstorms, hail and snow. It's it's about your behaviour on the road, not your exhaust. I ride a motorcycle with stock exhaust and still that will not make any difference in getting noticed other than a teeny tiny bit during hot summers where more drivers have their windows down. Riding a motorcycle is 100% more paying attention and 200% more thinking ahead (anticipation). Think about what you're doing, what your position is on the road and what the other party (car, lorry etc) is going to do. Saves you a lot more near misses or accidents than just a loud exhaust, my friend! Ride safe and have a great weekend!
Loud pipes most definitely can save lives. As a truck driver, I've had motorcycles ride in my blind spot several times, and had I not heard their exhaust, I'd not have known they were there.
Inspections aren't a thing where I live (Arkansas) lol. You can basically do whatever you want and get away with it until a cop notices and feels like writing you up for it. That'll pretty much never happen unless it's flashing red/blue lights, or license plate stuff. I rode with no turn signals or mirrors for like 5 months and never got pulled over.
Several of your mods I understand fully. One I'm not sure that I agree with whatsoever would be Is one specific helmet Mod.... I've been writing with a Troy Lee design 3rd 3rd light if you will that mounts to the back of your helmet.. I've had that since clear back in the 2000 tand I honestly think that all helmets should have an integrated light in them.. It makes a hell of a difference at night when somebody can see your head lighting up especially when you're on a smaller bike. And yes of course I run extra reflective material on my helmet as well.
Yep, because it's technically no longer the exact same bike as the one that was inspected, so you basically put an inspection sticker on a not fully inspected bike -> committing fraud.
@@petermuller7687 That act is not "committing fraud." While the precise legal definition varies by jurisdiction, no where would that act be defined as fraud.
Mirrors in the UK aren't a legal requirement. Neither are indicators. If you have them installed, they have to work. So remove them and any switches and you're good to go. Just learn hand signals. Exhaust mods are fine too if the sound isn't too obnoxious. I removed the baffles off mine and nothing said.
I'm surprised motorbikes are still legal to own in the UK tbh. You'd have thought they'd be banned by now for being a danger to the rider etc yada yada.
Some bikes had a mid-generation split where the previous year had no cat, and the next year did. No one really cares, but I've seen State Troopers pull cars over for cat inspections in NC.
I had a mishap and some mirrors got broken and some fairings got upset, long story short, rode to the gas station without mirrors and it was mildly terrifying... never again
I want my mirrors. Watching autos pull up behind at stop/red light, etc. I watch them to see if they are really stopping. already have escape route laid out to get the he** out of the way.
I know some laws in other countries are different but... Here in the Philippines ALL MODS are illegal UNLESS you get a permit or you get it legalized and get it looked if it fits the standard safety bullsht... Even an Extra lil light can get you ticketed...
Exhaust regs are really strict here in california, however, you don't need to ever smog your bike. So while there are a ton of rules, they literally never check. So unless you're going nuts with an insane-o loud system that's setting off alarms as you peel off, you're golden. Edit: Underglow is also totally legal here in liberalland. Just as long as it's not blue or red.
Mongkol Lee yeah, you can also download weight reduction from the internet. Seriously what kind of idiot buys a liter bike when you can just download 1000 hp and negative 300 pounds on a grom?
@@LuccianoNova sure in some cases. Noise and emissions regulations might limit power with some bikes, or the same intentional crippling as some cars have. But. Not only will the next year's model have 2--10hp more out of maybe the exact same engine it will also have proven to be reliable... Tinkering with the ignition etc could decrease reliability and be too much for the components.

De-catting is also perfectly legal in the UK

Fun fact, no mirrors is perfectly fine in an MOT but having a mirror with a crack is an advisory.
Why would they advise you to ride without mirrors?
When I was working at a motorcycle dealership, I asked a cop who was getting his tires changed about LED strips on bikes. He said it's legal to have em in whatever color you want BUT you can only ride w them on if they are white or amber ONLY. This was in south Texas. So on his advice we started selling lighting kits that could change colors so customers could ride with amber or white lights n then change them to a different color when they got to where they were going n wanted to show off their bike.

It’s technically not legal here in Alberta, but I’ve passed several cops even at night with no issue. It’s not bright enough to be distracting, and being white it doesn’t impersonate ant emergency vehicle. After all, bicycles are allowed to use them...
There are plenty of illegal plate kits, but there are just as many legal ones, and it's not hard to do it properly. Check to make sure before buying:
-It has lighting for the plate
-There are mounting points for turn signals (if your bike mounts its signals on the tail)
-It has at least a rear red reflector
Lights are the same thing, it's not hard to do it properly. _Always_ avoid blue, and avoid red unless you're doing a supplementary tail/brake light
My under glow has a dedicated line for brakes. I apply they go Red.
The Yoshimura kit for the Busa keeps the plate visible and doesn't affect the rear turn signals, because, Busa. And a rectangular piece of DOT red reflective tape adhered to the flat surface above the license plate gives me some reflectivity to the rear and doesn't look as obnoxious as the stock rear reflector.
@@robertrodriguez1964 Sick and safe, love it!
Cops giving you a hard time about GoPro on the helmet is stupid. I heard from a cop: "it can fly off your helmet so its a potential hazard so put it on your bike".....but what if it flies off the bike? Isnt that the same thing? smh
Except bike mounts are usually more secure than a 'lick ’n' stick' helmet mount.
@@chrisgraham5186 From my experience ....no. I have both. The Helmet cam is going NOWHERE. The tank mount? Thats more suspect actually. Its suction. Now are there are professional bike mounts you can put on a bike that are secure? Sure. But a helmet mount isnt as flimsy as 'lick n stick' as you put it. The point was that if any of them can fly off the bike, its the same potential danger said cop is talking about so those cops are talking out of their ass.
@@budgiecat9039 Cops often do talk out of their arses… I only wondered if that was his line of thinking and that if it's on your helmet, whether it's more likely to hit you, or distract you if it lets go. (Mounted to the bike, it just falls off.).
You might know what you're doing, and will make sure it's secure… but I've met some total dipsticks in my time who don't have a scoobie (like the idiot who'd made some saddlebag supports, mounted to the top and bottom shock bolts… on a twin shock bike).
@@chrisgraham5186 that's what I told my girlfriend. I lick and then stick.
The license plate visibility and lack of mirrors are most likely the only two things that you would need to be concerned about in most states....in my humble opinion as a recently retired officer.
Thank you sir. Is a flush license plate illegal, if it can be seen slightly?
@@sir.636 It's going to depend on the laws of your state. A kinda-storta rule of thumb would be to park your bike, walk back around 20-30 feet and see how visible the numbers/letters are. If you can clearly see the plate characters, you most likely be good to go. If your state has the small registration stickers on the plate, see if you can make out the date. Also, some states require license plate illumination, so, if you are planning on riding at night, make sure that there is a light for the plate. The bottom line is, If it is reasonably visible, chances are, you won't have a problem. But, keep in mind, there are officers out there that will stop you for stupid things like a plate that isn't displayed in accordance with the law. I used to stop people that had plates tucked way up and screwed to the inner fender, which made the plate barely visible. But, just about everything else, I didn't care.

the federal regulation on helmets only pertains to construction of helmets sold(or what conditions manufacturers need to meet to be legal). not street legality. it's a common misinterpretation of the law by police looking to ticket riders. Unless your state has added specific laws regarding fins/spikes etc. And especially if you're ticketed for a go pro. Might be worth fighting the ticket. (don't argue with cops... odds they'll respond aggressive or abusive probably go up. don't admit to a crime just take your ticket then dispute it)

Are you a lawyer? How do I educate myself on laws of my country
Correct! Many helmet add-ons serve to make the wearer more visible, and, therefore, safer!
About those mirror deletes. I broke the left mirror on my bmw k1600. I had to ride it home on the freeway. I refused to ride it again until the replacement mirror arrived and I installed it. Looking over your shoulder in freeway traffic is a recipe for disaster. Keep those mirrors
Removing mirrors for the track makes sense. Removing them when riding on the street is just straight up stupid.
Talk about yourself.
Reflectors are specifically designed as "retroreflectors" this means they actually are designed to shine light back in peoples faces. They internal shapes that redirect light perfectly back to where it came from. This means that they will light up with the power of a car's headlights. If you are worried about not being seen these are a very good thing to keep.
Its a hold over from when the mva's got made. No one is going to see a reflector on a bike. Oddly enough all new pedal bikes come with reflectors by law which are technically required yet literally everyone takes them off.
@@corail53 just because everyone removes them doesn't mean that is the smart decision. Reflectors on bikes are the same technology as road signs. If you can see the road signs then you should see the reflectors. If you can't see the road signs then you shouldn't be driving at night.

Same here. Sure, you get more vibration but not usually enough that you can't tell how close that Honda Civic driven by the teenage girl on her phone, is.
Yes, I know. I know. whatever.
Underglow Lighting in NY is a bit different. You can have any color you want, but it cannot be strobing or flashing. It has to be one color or static. If you have any flashing/strobing lights while on the road you are considered a distraction and you can be fined, towed or even arrested (Red/White/Blue).
California doesn't have inspection on their motorcycles. So feel free to remove all exhaust as long as you can get your "off highway" shipment
They do tho
My bike got stolen and partially stripped in '07. I had to put it back together on the cheap and sorta forgot turn signals and a speedometer. Been running almost 14 years without either and don't really miss them. I started using hand signals and honestly feel more aware and have had less "close calls" when turning or changing lanes.
*watches this video even though I don't even have a bike*
Loud pipes DO save lives. I had a very loud V-Star. Nobody ever tried to change lanes on top of me. They knew I was there. I upgraded to a very quiet VMAX. People frequently change lanes on top of me, because they don't know I'm there. Hearing a motorcycle causes a driver to look for it, before changing lanes.
@ffsgdfSgDsv iyknavDdvsa Being a motorcyclist, when I hear a motorcycle, but can't see it, I look for where it is. I can't be the only one out there that does that. I can't look for a motorcycle that I can't see, if I can't hear it.

Loud pipes saved me 2 times in the last 2 weeks. I was in a parking lot looking for a space when an old guy was backing out of his spot,he was 5’ away, I blipped my throttle as soon as I saw him, way faster than I could reach the horn button. He stopped and continued on, a close call for sure.
0:34 That Special victims Unit Sound Made me lmao
One thing I didn’t hear covered in all the reasons to not do these things is that all of these factory deletes make it all that much easier for insurance companies to not pay out in the event of an accident.
I've seen some newer license plate kits that are spring loaded and set to that when airflow gets above a certain point it allows the plate to push back and up, usually around 70-80+ mph depending on the bike. Considering messing with "airflow" in that area of the bike will not slow you down at all , there really is no need to tuck it up anyways.
the only two reasons i can think of are. 1 breaking the law tuck and run. 2 going to a show, tuck the plate for pictures and so on.
Although I don't condone hiding the plate, I study engineering and aerodynamics and disagree with your airflow statement. It creates substantial drag. Unfortunately motorcycles in general are have a terrible coefficient of drag (A Hayabusa- long time the most aero bike, now beat by CBR1000RRR was similar to a full size pickup in drag coefficient). So alot more than flipping the plate would be needed to make it somewhat efficient, but a 'more legal' fender eliminator kit is a start. I ride in a tuck even at legal highway speeds, and it's pretty easy to beat the manufacture's MPG rating, but not when I'm sitting up.
1. Some bikes have a TourPak/Trunk that blocks the plate from the factory. 2. Some bikes were built before mirrors were mandatory by the DOT. 3. Cobra NH series been in 30 states with these and never pulled. 4. Custom Dynamics X flasher for brake lighs. 5. Replace reflectors with LEDs in same color. 6. Remove factory lollipop and replace with Custom Dynamics Bagz. So when you going to ride a Iron Butt?

Great fun! Love your approach of quips of delight. Good job Sir! I'm 69(er) and ride a Yami FJR1300. The rear fender 'liner' (with plate bracket etc) was AWOL - first thing I replaced. It was a PITA!
When I had my rally style Acerbis fender eliminator on my 250 Rally, the body shop told me they'd have to grab me a "Not for road use" sticker from their shop. After I paid they went to grab it...I just left. 2 years later, never had an issue with it; hand signals baby!
I'm 71 so I'm an old man too. I try not to think about it or look in the mirror too often. I've had my share of ''loud pipes'' tickets, and I deserved them. What I can't wrap my brain around is the knuckle-heads and their sub-woofers in cages, NOT getting tickets.
Good and interesting video. But the best quote is at 1:15: "Enough of the long intros..." Thank you, computer, for the fast forward button.
Quick tip, instead of getting a flip up plate just put clear skateboard grip tape over the numbers, it makes it not reflective and cameras can’t read it at night

It's a lot quicker to briefly shift your eyeballs to look at your mirror, than it is to turn your head all the way around to see what's behind you. In that split second when trouble arises do you really want to look backwards to see if someones tailgating you, before you slam on the brakes to keep from hitting a big deer in the road? A tenth of a second vs 5 seconds, choose wisely, your life may depend on your decision.
Sheriff completely ignored my lack of mirrors, lol.
It’s the state that mess with me. Counties don’t really bother me. Even without a license plate on it.
"I believe you should go out and make your own mistakes" got to be one of the best quotes 👌
Best way around things like cat-cons etc is buy an older bike...
God, my brother put flush turn signals on his sports bike, and I absolutely hated them. I'm the "bring up the rear" kind of rider, and I could never tell when he was turning, when he was just weaving/drifting back and forth... I loved how visible my turns signals were on my K6 Gixxer1000.
As for the turn signal portion of the video, i love, love, love the mirror integrated signals. They look nice and, imo, are safer than body mounted ones. I also love the rear foot peg integrated signals. Again, they look amazing while keeping you safe. Im all about safety lights on motorcycles and if they can be integrated into something already being used on your bike, then yee hawww. 👍👍😎👏👏👏👏
"Frowned apon by the atmosphere" now i cant stop laughing
The helmet thing is wrong. If you read the law it states "from the factory" it only works with things mounted FROM THE FACTORY if its anything thats you put onto it without compromising the rigidity of the helmet its ok. A lawsuit about this happened a bit ago when a guy got arrested for a gopro. All charges were dropped.
In colorado we can have drop clutch diesel trucks, raw twostroke dirtbikes, oil burning tractors. But the second our cats go out in our 1989 Toyota FX16 commuter, all hell breaks lose.
When it comes to headlight shine, do the blue lights only look blueish to the viewer, or do they also shine blue light ahead? If they only look blue but shine white light, they should be good.
M Novo I had mine covered with blue film.. looks so nice but does cast blue light. Kind of sketchy in a dark canyon but I don’t ride much at night and my state requires daytime lights. gets a lot of attention but no cops yet 🏍 💨 👮
The fact is that the helmet protuberances one is a bit of a grey area. In most US states, this rule is included in the construction and use regulations, not user regs or road use. This is dealt with in a video by the "Audit the Auditor" channel on YT. As for the rest of the world (ie; Europe); I've never heard of anyone being pulled over for having a GoPro or whatever on a bike, in some countries (Russia and places like the Philippines etc.) video recording is highly recommended to avoid insurance scammers.
7:19 this did not age well. our own yammie splooge is a young busa boi now
I leave my motorcycle stock. My first motorcycle was an ‘08 Suzuki GSX 650F I bought brand new in ‘09. I kept her stock except for the seat. The front and rear turn signals were stalked. Looked fine to me everything looked fine to me. I had her for nine years. My car a 1997 Eagle Talon TSI AWD. Black, was literally rotting because I loved riding so much. I finally sold to her a kid so that she would have a good home.
I traded my Suzuki in for my new bike. She was born on April 6th 2020, a Yamaha FJR 1300es. She is so beautiful. I have added a bigger touring windscreen because the original was made for small Japanese men. I may buy a custom seat but that is all. She is AWESOME. Stay safe folks and be ATGAT!
DOT approves helmet design for manufacture. That is to say if a manufacturer designs a helmet that DOT approves, such as a helmet with a visor are legal even though the visor sticks out further than the 2/10”. This is because the helmet was tested with the visor for both safety and aerodynamic functionality.
After market add ons like the Mohawk have not been tested and could cause the wind to catch when looking over your shoulder ending your ride in a bad time.

There's a dog on the side mirror. 😁
I think helmet makers should be installing rear view heads up camera views so all it takes is a simple head turn to scan the entire rear terrain. Got used to looking through a helmet mounted mirror when doing bicycle touring.
It was so easy to adapt to the process of monitoring what was coming up behind me to where it was second nature. Having it in a rear view helmet camera with night vision would be a game changer.
I added reflective tape in distincive patterns that blend with the body lines of my bikes and helmets. The patterns I made with them leave no doubt I am a motocycle rider and bike. And not near as offensive to look at as those stupid round and rectangle reflectors.
I'm hatin on your exhaust doesn't save lives comment. I was nearly getting run into daily because cars couldn't hear me. As soon as I changed to exhaust to a louder one. It didn't happen nearly as much
That's where 100% of (beginning) riders are wrong. Let me explain:
You're nearly hit because you're either not seen (small profile, black clothing etc, drivers not looking) or you're driving in someone's dead spot rather than drivers "not hearing" you. Most dumb reason to get an after market exhaust ever invented. Drivers are not hearing you because they drive in a closed off vehicle with good sound-insulation. So no use at all to go for a loud exhaust.

I ride four seasons a year (spring, summer, autumn and winter) From rain to thunderstorms, hail and snow. It's it's about your behaviour on the road, not your exhaust.
I ride a motorcycle with stock exhaust and still that will not make any difference in getting noticed other than a teeny tiny bit during hot summers where more drivers have their windows down.
Riding a motorcycle is 100% more paying attention and 200% more thinking ahead (anticipation). Think about what you're doing, what your position is on the road and what the other party (car, lorry etc) is going to do.
Saves you a lot more near misses or accidents than just a loud exhaust, my friend!

Loud pipes most definitely can save lives. As a truck driver, I've had motorcycles ride in my blind spot several times, and had I not heard their exhaust, I'd not have known they were there.
Inspections aren't a thing where I live (Arkansas) lol. You can basically do whatever you want and get away with it until a cop notices and feels like writing you up for it.
