it's june already and i have yet to get my 636 inspected. pathetic, isn't it? i have a dude that gives me the hook-up, since it won't pass with the integrated signal. work has been preventing me from getting with him though. hopefully next week. i haven't been riding her much lately for fear of being caught. i had to settle for riding *gasp* the harley more frequently to get my fix. :)

You don't know how to swap your tail light out? And neither does your husband? Your husband = fail.

haha! i'm a dumbass. when i integrated the light i just got the circuit board and cracked the stock light to install it. i saved $$ that way. shoulda got the whole unit. live and learn, i suppose.

you are right about 1 thing...husband = fail. my father-in-law does all my bike work.

Didn't realize it was that type. I don't even know how to do that type.

it's ok. we had to use the dremel to cut the tailight in 1/2 along the seam, then bust out the old circuitboard with a hammer. secured the new one in place and glued the light back together and voila! honestly, i'd have rather had the clear alternatives kind that comes with the whole housing. but i was naive when i was looking to buy and found this for $60 as opposed to $90 or so for CA. i didn't understand the difference, so i went cheap. now i understand. hindsight is 20/20, huh?

Crap...I just realized both of the bikes were due for inspection in May.

Guess I'll knock that out when I get back from Laconia next week...at least the insurance and registration is all taken care of.

There's nothing in NV for a motorcycle. No smog or anything, just bring in proof of insurance and you're good to go.

In MO, they just check tires, headlights (high and low) tails, and blinkers.

I believe it's just a basic safety inspection for motorcycles in NC.

Yep- gotta get mine done too. Last year it cost me $12 at the Ford Dealership at home. They closed, so I have to find somewhere else that doesn't charge $25+ like the dealer in the next town.

Illinois doesnt test bikes at all. vehicles 1996 and newer have to pass smog test in Chicago and where I live next to STL....
