I read somewhere (and I hope this is wrong) about folks being ticketed on trips even though their apes conformed to the regulations of their home state. What are you supposed to do, stop at every state line and change your handlebars? That would get old.Would think it is dependent on the State the bike is titled in.
But if your being a douche so the Cops pull you over does`t mean they may not try to site you for them too.
That what I was concerned about. People who aren't trying to get a ticket get one do cause it doesn't conform to that state requirements even though your home state has different requirements.I read somewhere (and I hope this is wrong) about folks being ticketed on trips even though their apes conformed to the regulations of their home state.

Well I'm way over that. I have 14" bars sitting on 3 1/2" risers and my seat is probably 1 1/2" to 2" lower than my stock seat. I've never been hassled with but I guess they could if they wanted too, hell they could pull over half the bikes on the road. 15" just doesn't even sound right though, I'm sure there are quite a few stock bikes that would be illegal like a Heritage or a street bob.15" above the seat.
I saw there were quite a few states with a 15" rule. With being said wouldn't a street bob with 12" bars be higher that 15" from the seat? If not I bet it's pretty close.SoMetimes the state patrol won't say anything unless they have pulled you over for something else. However the 15 in rule sound right.
I understand your point, and it is unfortunate that while legal in your home state you may not be legal in another state(s). Very similar to helmet laws--even though your state may not require you to wear a helmet, cross a state line and you must abide by their helmet law.I read somewhere (and I hope this is wrong) about folks being ticketed on trips even though their apes conformed to the regulations of their home state.
