I have been questioned by some local cops on the bike and they wouldn't know anything you don't tell them about it. All the ones I have talked to have liked them, they were just curious about it. So I'm pretty sure I won't have any problems around here. I was ridin it in Ohio and this one cop just kept passin me real slow checkin it out and then would get behind me again. He did that three times before he just spead away and waved as he went by.
