Just passed the yearly Texas state inspection on Ol' Beuford T Dudley (84 GW) and was put in a bit of a dilemma for the first time. All the lights, brakes and tires were fine but the evaluator said because of the fairing all of the VIN numbers could not be clearly seen. There was a change (?) on the books that specifically said the motorcycle VIN must be verified or it couldn't pass. After digging in around the wiring harness for a while, finally by using a small mirror and mini-flashlight he was satisfied everything was legit. I told him that if the "Dud" didn't pass there was at least $25 worth of parts on it if he was interested in buying him.
I've purchased an assortment of dead-in-the-water 1200 and 1500 GW's over the years that have passed inspections with a short test ride and the wave of a magic wand. Has anyone else noticed a change in procedure ?
