    It would be nice if they allowed that here, works that way for renewal online but because the bike came in to the sate from California, (private sale) it requires a VIN inspection so I will be visiting the DMV here once they open back up.

    Mine was also out of state - Indiana to Colorado. I had to do the same VIN verification. Here, we can use the County Sheriff or an emissions center or a car / motorcycle dealer. The Sheriff charges $8 which I was happy to pay, but they are not currently doing the inspections w/ C19. Emissions centers also closed. Called my GMC dealer and he did mine for free!

    Here are the toys together this past weekend...

    Thanks Fin, yours is nice too! Have you done any upgrades to your SM yet? I keep thinking I'd like to do the exhaust. Maybe the X pipe and mufflers or just the mufflers just to give it a little more volume. Riding with my brother and his HD really over powers the SM. I am quicker than his HD though! :p LOL
    I have flushed the brakes, the fluid was looking a little dark.:eyes:

    Just added the sissy bar and ordered a Corbin seat. Looking to do a bunch of mods. I like the Motone stuff. Would like to do a fly/wind screen asap

    Try riding w/ a late 90s V-Max. I can hear the Yamaha 30' behind me more than I can hear my own SM! And unfortunately, it is a lot quicker too (said V-Max is my current avatar... my friend did an amazing paint job on it).

    Fin, I'll be interested in hearing about the corbin seat on the SM! I've got a corbin on my Trophy SE, I like it better than the russell day long. I find the windscreen that came with my bike could be a little taller. but that's just me. My boy found it work well for him but he takes after his mom and sits lower in the saddle.

    The windshield is Triumph. The previous owner purchased all the Triumph accessories and I must admit, I really like the shield and the bags. I intended to pull the windshield off, but honestly I have really enjoyed it on so far. High quality and not as big as I expected.
