Hi there,
My girl and I have just taken our new '04 Wing to Germany. She's in the Military and we bought it in Texas before we left there. I need to register it on the German system (she doesn't ride so can't register it with the military). Trouble is, I don't know exactly what the differences are between a US and European bike. I'm told that the headlight will need to be changed (I thought bikes' lightsjust dipped downwards!), and having the indicators acting as running lights is illegal in Germany. :?
Therefore, my questions are these:
1. Is this true?
2. Are these the only (legal) differences for roadworthyness?
3. How much is it likely to cost me (at US prices) to get these addressed?
4. Are these any areas here that an amateur like me could tackle, given wiring diagrams, etc?
5. Are there any onther tips/info that it would be handy to know here?
Thanks guys!
Paul
