Firstly I think we all know that vehicle modifications may make us non compliant to ADR's. Lighting needs careful thought before changing. Certainly change would need to improve visability and clarity of my intent. Tail tidies maybe considered ok when a wheel hugger is used?
I am sure we all agree cars, motorcycle's and roads are much safer than in the past. But increasingly we see legislators push for lower speed limits and higher speeding fines.
Possibly lobbied by insurers to minimise risk.
And lower speed limits make it easier to speed so revenue benifits as well. Meanwhile every one seems to drive around with minimum attention board as crap. As motorcyclists we seem to have very little representation for legislation that affects us. Maybe we need a lobby group to represent our interests.
Certainly on the bike I feel safer moving through traffic than sitting at the same speed as cars.
I don't see much to be gained by antagonising an office in the event of an encounter.
Just some thoughts
