Zitat von Mark R 1200 S im Beitrag #7Zitat von Oscarguitar im Beitrag #4 Really? So why does Aeroflow of California only makes their shorter windscreens in smoke tint...? I tried to look up specific legislation, but I couldn't find it. Do you have a specific law in mind? As of 1959, all vehicles registered in California - EXCEPT motorcycles - are required to have wind shields, and there has followed decades of legislation as regards specifics of those windshields. We of course have wind screens. In view of lack of specifics, I believe the point at which a windscreen becomes a windshield is likely up to the law enforcement officer and how much the rider has pissed him/her off. If you don't look through it, it is not a windshield. Perhaps the Aeroflow lawyers have a specific height in mind. You might ask if they know of specific laws, or if they have put to use something not generally recognized by California legislators - common sense.... “A good man always knows his limitations.” |

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #13 Again - when does a wind deflector or wind screen become a windshield? When last lusting over a RR, I noted that I can have my imported BMW motorcycle delivered with a tinted screen.

Zitat von Doc4216 im Beitrag #14Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #13Zitat von Mark R 1200 S im Beitrag #7Zitat von Oscarguitar im Beitrag #4 It all comes down to the discretion of observing law enforcement officer. Last incident I know of was a buddy ~10 years ago cited by California Highway Patrol for such in Sacramento. He was not happy. Bike had originally been offered/purchased new from dealership equipped with a tinted windshield. (It was a Buell so not an import) |

Zitat von Ray B im Beitrag #17Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #13 I use the term "windshield," as so identified on the BMW Motorcycle parts fiche. Also, addressing your other question, recall that for many years illegal-in-California exhaust systems & mufflers could be purchased in the state. It wasn't until relatively recently when the state crack downed on such, and so now they are no longer available over the counter or shipped to California addresses. |

Zitat von Ray B im Beitrag #17 Maybe things are changing. Bikes like the K1300S HP had a tinted shield as part of the HP package but all the bikes delivered to the US had clear shields. It was no problem for the owner to buy the Tinted BMW shield from the dealer and install it.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #20Zitat von Ray B im Beitrag #17 This is in the "build your bike" section - so you might yet be correct. This might be a dealer installation. I'll ask at the dealership, when it opens back up again..... - Currently closed until further notice due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. “A good man always knows his limitations.” |
