No plate, no brake light, no signals, no mirrors, straight pipes...

I think ANY street...

That's what hand signals are for :thumb:  But yeah, it could probably use a mirror and a place for a plate.  As far as the pipes... not legal, but there's lots of cruisers out there with straight pipes

Even tho people are doing it doesn't make it legal.

As I said, I know its not legal, but someone could potentially get away with it.  Even most (all?) aftermarket slip-ons and full systems are not legal on the street.   

Straight pipes are really not my style (stock exhaust on my GS), but on a bike like this it seems like the way to go.  Doesn't really matter anyway ... I just thought this bike was cool, with almost the same engine as our bikes, and obtainable... if I just had a little more money

Regardless of how street legal the thing is, I think everyone is missing the bigger point. It's ugly as sin. :thumb:
