Hello. Can you please tell me what I should consider when modifying my motorcycle?
================
Of course. Did you remove a speed governor that was originally installed to limit the top speed of a moped or add a speed governor that limits the top speed of a moped or motorcycle?
No, I never would do that without the permission of the DMV.
================
The nature of the modifications I was hinting at might require a possible change of a registration from commercial to passenger class. What should I know about such modifications?
================
Are you talking about a pick-up truck?
No, I'm not.
================
Are you talking about a van then?
No.
================
Let's talk about a car, for example. Is a modified car still in the commercial class?
You can register a car in the 'commercial' class if all the seats behind the driver are removed. Instead of the seats you must install a permanent box or permanent rack to carry cargo.
================
Ah, I see. Will the DMV examine the vehicle and put it in the correct class then?
The DMV can not examine your vehicle to determine the correct registration class. You must determine the correct registration class for your vehicle.
