Customs was probably cruising it around the whole time! (just kidding, of course)

Yeah, just kidding about the crusing, it was burnouts down the quarter mile :rofl_200:

yea, bikes from countries who drive on the right (like the US) have a dipped beam that dips more on the left (as to not blind oncoming traffic - same is true for LHD cars) whereas bikes and cars from countries who drive on the left (UK, Japan, Australia etc) have more dip on the right.

I'm thinking the local dips there work in the compliance dept. :rofl_200:

I just one week ago bought a near new 2006 with 850 miles on it.The rear indicator extension brackets looked like they were made in a preschool and are now removed, the speedo is in miles per hour , it also has a very loud 4 into 1 kerker exhaust on it which i thought was strange since i am in first registered Australian owner.

It's fine if you bought it from a dealer - as long as it's been through compliance they can do anything they like afterwards. And, that's only if it's an import - is your '06 one? Has it got a pink sticker 'used import' on it?
