The carbon termis on my bike have nothing stamped on them at all, just the termi stickers.
They come with the bike as new.
I would say that carrying your insurance certificate with you would help. I don't usually bother but it can save things going further if you can produce your documents on the spot.
If this practice by the NYPD is the case then it's probably an attempt to stop the practice of them dishing out a rectification notice, the biker getting some std cans fitted to comply with the notice, then when all the paperwork is sorted sticking the noisy pipes straight back on.
The no insurance thing is far more serious and will make someone think again before.
Where they doing this on the 1257 to keep the nimbys happy?
In my experience the SYPD won't bother with pipes or dark visor even when dishing out a ticket for "excess velocity" they will even send you a customer satisfaction survey!!!
You can buy BS stickers and rivet on labels but ultimately they could land you in even more hot water, depends on how keen the fedrale are to spend time and effort on the issue.
