If Progressive turns it down you can always get it through Geico online. Quick and easy. punched in the Vin# and all the correct information on the bike came up. $99 a year. Allstate wouldn't add it to my policy because it would come up in there system.

Thanks for all the updates Emerikol. I'm amazed that you've been able to get it going that fast already. Would you mind sharing all the mods you've done already? And links to the products. Thanks! Safe travels!

Why do the stock mirrors suck?

If they're anything like the mirrors that came with my Lifan, they provide an excellent view of your shoulders.

First DMV Visit is a Bust - No Help From TXPowersports
First visit the DMV has been a bust. They refused to register, title, or do anything with my Hawk because the MCO didn't say that the vehicle was legal for street use. They gave me a couple of forms to fill out and take the bike up to the Sheriff's office so they can inspect and verify the (non-existent) vehicle data plate that's supposed to be on the steering stem. I reached out to TXPowersports for some help and haven't heard back yet, however I noticed they updated the website after I bought my bike and they posted a disclaimer that the bike might not be legal in all 50 states... If they're marketing a vehicle as being street legal, it damn well ought to be street legal. The DMV even went so far as to dig into the registration of my DR, claiming that since it only had one cylinder it couldn't possibly be street legal.

The stock mirrors provide a completely unencumbered view of my elbows and upper arms... And God help you if you ride in cooler weather and wear a heavy jacket. The one on the right also sags as you ride. I've tried tightening up the tension screw in back, but no dice.

Dang man, I'm sorry it's been so disappointing. I still am unsure if I'll get a title from the state. They may deny it. I've also heard that there is a way to register it in another state to get the title and then bring it in after the fact to register it here, if nothing else works.

Here is some good information on Vin tags. http://www.motorcycle-manufacturer-l...ber-labels.htm Just an idea. Looks like you can get them made or just print your own and stick it on there.
