Inspection sticker
#1
Before I get my nice new CB inspected I need to find a small plate that will mount on the front of the bike to save my front forks from a goopy inspection sticker. Anyone know who may sell such a thing that is set up for these bike's mounting points?

just hit the first 300 mile mark been treating the motor very nicely, varied RPM's, resisting my throttle urges. had exactly 1 mile leaving the dealer two weeks ago. What a sweet ride this is! I have owned big two cylinder bikes, XLCR and Thruxton. this is turbine-like in the smooth delivery of power, and you all are correct in that it is deceptive, you don't feel like you are accelerating very hard until you look at the speedo oops just a little north of legal!

ordering an unpainted Parabellum tomorrow, thanks for the paint codes, Parabellum doesn't have paint for the black 2014 in stock. I'll get a body shop buddy to shoot it for me with some color rite product! going with an 18" screen for the road and a 10" for bopping around the back roads.:thanks

I think most dealers stock them. Mine does. A tad pricey for what it is, but I didn't care. They may be behind the counter and you might have to ask.
Here is a pic of mine.

Looks like I need to do some cleaning!

Here in Texas, the DMV just eliminated inspection stickers for cars and motorcycles. You still have to get it inspected, but now you do it within 90 days before your registration is renewed and take the slip of paper the inspector gives when you go renew registration. I sure am glad to be rid of the ugly inspection sticker plate on the rear end.

That dealer accessory plate looks the way to go. Glad that we have no vehicle inspection at all in Georgia

And don't limit yourself to your dealer. Check out any dealer including Harley if you can't find them. I've seen them at most dealers I've been in. Probably avail. on-line too.

Mine is mounted where the service manager suggested although he said in VA. it can go anywhere on the left side of the bike.

Also, on my ST they bent the end with the hole 90 degrees and mounted it to a fork clamp bolt. It lays flush that way. Be creative if you have too.

Perfect I was wondering if it needed to be up on the front of the bike or not. That would be your left footrest. I didn'y want to fool with any bolts of the front fork assembly.
At 320 miles I just gave the throttle a nice hard twist and worked her up through the gears shifting at about 5k each time. It is deceptive how fast I was going when I glanced at the speedo!
Thanks for the information.

Popgun, I've a feeling there'll be no stopping you now you've learned to post pictures. In Australia we used to have to carry a registration sticker to show that registration was current. You could buy a nifty plastic folder the sticker fitted inside and it was then easy to attach to the bike. Although they are no longer necessary, there was one in my CB when I bought it. I'll see if I can find a photo.


You can see it faintly near the rear footpeg. It was attached to one of the chain guard bolts.
