@@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.

[@x-man5056]

@@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. The driver of any car you pass who doesn't see you in his mirror, is not going to know you are there by your higher decibels until it is way to late. The extra sound would not be heard by the driver until you were almost beside the car. You do get more attention though, irate neighbors, occasional law enforcement. I have pipes on my bike, strait through, no Cat. I like how it sounds. Not under any illusions that it makes me safer some how.

[@JKaiserable]

@@x-man5056 i’m not denying that it makes no difference in specific applications, but firstly, the benefits are not exclusive to highway speeds, even then, if you’re traveling at the same rate as someone in the next lane in any circumstance, be it blind spots, someone merging onto a side road you are on, passing them on b roads, hearing you is beneficial… cars have horns specifically to utilize the benefit of sound gaining attention, sounds helps. It’s as simple as: “who is more noticeable? someone silent, or someone loud.”

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]

Thank you sir. Is a flush license plate illegal, if it can be seen slightly?

[@SigmaSheepdog]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@corail53]

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.

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.

[@nazuuldoom6527]

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.

[@jeladsnikpoh1289]

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.

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.

It’s the state that mess with me. Counties don’t really bother me. Even without a license plate on it.

[@rexvonnothdurft8955]

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.

[@rexvonnothdurft8955]

@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.

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.

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.

Best way around things like cat-cons etc is buy an older bike...

[@jimkimball4288]

On the Catalytic converter side, there was recently a supreme court case against the EPA that states they overstepped their authority by deeming cars without cats as illegal, as its a non-legislative body creating a law. So in technical terms: the ACTION of removing the cat is POTENTIALLY a federal crime, but driving around without one is legal per that decision against the EPA. Only risk you run is not passing inspection in certain states & jurisdictions

[@youknowwhoiam1314]

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

[@jeroenvanbroekhoven7325]

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)

[@youknowwhoiam1314]

@@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.

[@jeroenvanbroekhoven7325]

@@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!

[@Storm-Chaser]

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.

[@fredflintstone4087]

Cars hear load exhaust before the bikes are sometimes visible. If reflectors work then it’s crazy to think that anything alerting drivers would not work like horns, reflectors or decently not overbearing load pipes.

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.

[@pesc4208]

Yeah boy my 50cc 2 stroke aprilia never had one either

[@olivertaylor4779]

Cats only work on 4 strokes afaik, imo the burned oil would block a cat up making it useless.

[@ntdscherer]

That's because when it was made there were almost no emission standards for motorcycles. It would be impossible to make a street legal 2 stroke now.

[@mumuspain2086]

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.

[@jynx_fire3044]

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.

[@ScoobyGSXR750]

In California, you don't need to get your bike smogged or inspected. The only way you will get caught is by law enforcement. Event then, it's usually a $25 fix-it ticket.

[@casey7104]

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..

[@woolypuffin392]

[@casey7104]

Definitely not a bike for night riding that’s for sure.

[@davidcolin6519]

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.

[@PhilipBurton-dn3ce]

Girls with ponytails on their helmets should be exempt from all laws

[@CurtisDrew1]

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.

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.
