I used to live in Florida and rode there. Yes, the cops will get you on this. And considering how many Florida roads have no lights and lots of drainage ditches along the sides of them I recommend it. Cars can come up fast behind you and fast.

This is quite interesting my vulcan 900 doesn't have anything on the rear of the bike like that... and it's completely stock, I guess I'll have to get some red reflective tape and put it across the license plate or something....

Could this be a response to clear tail lens? Hmm?
I used to live in Winter Park, still visit relatives. Planning to ride there in May, Tarpon, Gainesville, and Indian Harbor Beach

it could very well be that... I can foresee this just being one of those tickets where if a cop wants to be a dick he can be kind of things... I haven't been pulled over on any of the bike I ride yet though. knocks on wood.

I stopped the speeding all over the place years ago... I just don't see the point anymore, big deal if I get there 5 minutes faster, it's costing me more to get there those 5 minutes faster. I'm too cheap anymore to want to pay for the extra gas, let along the ticket it's going to get me... A friend of mine just got a nasty ticket for doing 86 in a 70, now he's got to pay 250 just for the ticket and I'm sure there will be a bunch of fees involved in it as well. It's not often cops will pull you over for anything else so that's why I mention the speeding...

That's why you do all that you can to not give them a reason... They can't pull you over without a reason.

Most stock tails actually have a reflective material inside of them. Shine a light at it with it off at night, and you'll see what I'm suggesting. I think this is a trick to give a ticket to anyone who swaps their tails, and does a fender eliminator.
