    accent light wiring

    Alabama's Attorney General, a few years back, sent out a "memo" to help clarify the law, and in a nutshell, any auxiliary lighting not installed by the manufacturer is unauthorized/illegal while on Alabama roadways. The "memo" came out after several tickets were issued by Montgomery P.D. for the neon lights under the vehicles, and the judge(s)/prosecutors wanted better clarification. You can have them installed, and sit in a parking lot with them on all night long, but once you hit the roadways, they have to be turned off, according to the "memo".

    Turning left on a red when the light won't change.

    If I am not mistaken, I believe in Alabama, there is a bill in Legislation as we speak (or type!!) to change or ammend the current law to allow for motorcyclists to proceed through a red light. But knowing the Alabama Legislature, they will add so much rhetoric and B.S., that when all is said and done and the dust settles...it will STILL be illegal for motorcyclists to proceed on red.

    How many you got?

    currently have 2 bikes:

     

    2002 Kawasaki ZZR-1200. Had a 1996 Suzuki Katana 750 (my first ever sportbike). I got my behind spanked one day by a girl on a ZX600, so the next day I traded up to the ZZR. Wanted lots of power (which it has definitely got), but also wanted to stay in the Sport-Touring class. Have enjoyed many "short" trips, no longer than 4 hours, but mainly this bike is a LOT of fun around town.

     

    2007 Midnight Venture. I rode a 1993 1st Gen for work. This bike could not be destroyed. I was finally forced to retire it. In 2007, I went on my first ever motorcycle rally, Thunder Beach, in Panama City, Florida. There was a Midnight Venture on display. I took it for a test ride and was hooked. A friend of mine who was with me also bought one, so the dealer gave us a pretty good deal (we think) for the sale to both of us. Anywho, the RSMV is for my long distance travelling now.

    rate favorite bikes.

    Is a Suzuki Katana really considered a sportbike?? Sorry, couldn't resist...just joking.

     

    Seriously tho, I have K&N in my ZZR1200 with no issues. I have not been told or heard anything negative about K&N in carburated sportbikes. Hopefully someone on here knows the answer.

     

    Have you tried "KatanaPlanet" forums? (I used to own a Katana 750, so I do have a little knowledge on it...VERY little...:crackup:)
