I had to rent a van to bring it to the MSVA inspection. All passed, no problems. There are a few tricks to the inspection that I was lucky enough to identify beforehand, and it paid off. The examiner said that a lot of bikes fail first time because the fuel cap is higher than 15mm, so all that work I did to make it flush was well spent. Also you need the pilot light in the headlamp, evidently there are a lot of failures there too. Ad finally, note the clear plastic number plate that I put on there temporarily, just to hold the red rear reflector. Need to have that.
All in all a great experience, the examiner was very helpful and professional, and used fair judgement. I have also insured it on the VIN only. Now I fill out the V55/5, and will get a V5c.
If anyone has any questions about this process just ask. I learned a lot while investigating it.
In the 4th picture the LR indicator is wonky because I hit it with my foot while swinging a leg over, this has since been fixed.
