So I had a buddy that tried to pass his old suzuki with some standard clubmans and they wouldn't pass inspection. Some silly Texas law involving a gas tank, but I cant find it online. Is this always the case or is there a way around this. I was thinking of just taking the bike in with normal bars then doing a swap. Is that the standard for running cafes? Or do most of you guys know somebody who helps you pass... for a case of beer... or something... not a bribe...just a thank you case. anyways, that thought just re-entered my mind as i was about to order some bars and i figured you guys would know. (and yeah im trying to make it as street legal as possible)

Thats where my real concern was. Im glad someone addressed the bars hitting the tank as a possible issue. I hadnt thought of that being the reason why the bike didnt pass, I simply got " they wouldnt pass it with those bars" from my buddy. SO I had to sort out why on my on. As another responder wrote, its hard to find the law laid out to a t here. I wouldnt let the bars hit a tank and wouldnt think most people would. That must of been the reason. Thanks. And the beer thing was a joke (dont get mad, sometimes we use comedy- even if that comedy is not funny- to make lite of a situation and get everyone comfortable with each other).
