Yumyum 09 rebuild
#51
I decided to do chain and sprocket while I am at it. If I was not doing that, bike should have been done today. But now I have to wait few more days to get the parts and install.
Mirror. Kinda funny that I still have the GoPro case mounted to the windscreen. That thing never moved for months now.
My custom made powdercoated license plate bracket with Rizoma Zero turn signal with my new plate. Gsxr will have YUMMI1 and my car will have YUMMI

Sometimes I think any kind of personalisation of specially motor vehicles is generally frowned upon, in fact now that I think of it, I'm not sure have I EVER seen a custom plate in a bike, or is that even possible to grt... I just bought a pressure horn for my truck only to find out they are illegal too (doesn't stop me though, just need to hide a switch somewhere to flip onto the regular one during inspection...) Not a few years ago a cop took the plates from one bike for no apparent reason only cause it was built to a bomber so there MUST be something illegal on it, the guy took it to court cause all the mods were inspected and approved, and tried to sue the cop for official infraction, but the prosecutor decided not to sue. The guy got his plates back but the cop got away with it... Luckily things are getting better every year as bikes are spreading wider, nowadays they focus on decibels and other things such, and might even look HID or a LED light through their fingers (yes, illegal too if not original) if everything else is in order...

Besides that there's so many Harley riders with ungodly loud bikes over here that I think the cops just don't care anymore.
And as far as the custom plate that's insane! I don't often see them on bikes but there's lots on cars. You can even buy special plates with like your favorite sports team or charitable cause design on them for less than 100 extra.
Btw sorry for high jacking your thead yum. Your bike looks freaking awesome. Those rims really set it off.

We have safety inspection every year too here. For new car/bike, first inspection after you buy the vehicle is the second year. But after that, it's every year. It gotten very strick here too, because State issues fines on inspection stations for issuing safety check to vehicles that doesn't normally pass. I have one place that I know I can get it. And now one guy from my normal shop said he will give me after it's done. Only thing I have ilegal is front turn signals.

That`s one good thing we don`t have. The official reason is because the riding season is so short the stations would be swamped with the bikes every spring. Personally I think there`s not really need for it anyways, there is very little to none ratbikes that would not pass the inspection other than too loud pipes or illegal lights, almost everyone here service their own bikes or are so loaded they have a winter storage/spring service plan with a local dealer.
