DOT-approved OEM "off the factory floor" equipment cannot be cited as illegal.
State statutes that contradict or further restrict DOT regulations are not enforceable on OEM factory-spec equipment, per the DOT. Federal law trumps state law.....that's how a Constitutional Republic works.

Seems like the solution is easy. Take it to court and site the new regs and if the judge says that it's illegal get the ball rolling on receiving compensation from the dealer that sold the bike and the place that put the inspection sticker on it saying that it was legal to be ridden on FL roads.

A dealership cannot sell a new bike that violates the law. Not just tell you about it, they are not allowed to.

I think by the time we have all read all the "expert opinions" ( mine included ) voiced on this thread we would/might be able to pass the Florida BAR ... then we could run commercials on the "cheap" television channels, pool our money and design a "legal" license bracket ... Is this a great country or what?

My question is, if this bike was purchased from an HD dealership in the OP's state, whether brand new with factory equipment or used. Did the dealership supply the state inspection for the initial registration? What inspection place did?
Would the fault not lie with whomever inspected it?
