Arizona bike regulations

So I'm building my bobber right now and getting close to having to liscense it, I'm in Arizona does anyone know what regulations I have to follow as far as lights, exhaust, or whether or not I have to have front brakes

Go right to the source, the AZ State Code, Chapter 3, Article 16

www.azleg.state.az.us/arizonarevisedstatutes.asp?title=28

2. A motorcycle, an all-terrain vehicle and every motor driven cycle when operated on a highway shall be equipped with at least one brake that may be operated by hand or foot.

The light question you'll have to look up. I have to run.

Having No front brake maybe the look your going for, and could well be legal I don't know. But that is where your stopping force is at, 80% or more, be a scary bike without a front brake. JMO.

thanks im transfering all pressure to the back and actually putting a trans am caliper on it to increase stopping power so im not worried

how do you transfer pressure from a totally seperate system? There is no proportioning valve like on a car, you pull the front brake you get front brakes only, same for rear, you the human are the proportioning valve on a bike you have to activate both brakes.

Weight transfer from the rear to front occurs when slowing/ braking, that is why rear bakes loose effectiveness.
If you have anything with a front and rear brake set up where you can have control, Motorcycle, bicycle, or whatever, try it for yourself. Get to say 30 MPH and hit both brakes, then do it again with just the front, then yet again with just the rear, all the time keeping track of the stopping distance. Rear brake only will be quite dangerous at 30MPH let alone 60+. The other bike you had posted still has the front, good to see.

I'm changing out the master cylinder to meet the caliper requirements

@ Bareknuck...
PM me if you want to hook up... I'm in Glendale.

For yearly emissions, they do an idle and an idle to ramp up to 1500rpms while in neutral for 10-15 seconds... That's all there is to it....

Tweak your pilots/slow jets a 1/4 turn lean and she'll fly right through if everything else is dialed in such as no manifold leaks, carbs are sync'd, correct jetting etc....

Since you have decided to ignore the relationship between momentum and the coefficient of friction I respectfully suggest you consider investing in one of these specialized meters:

anybody have any idea if AZ has the shoulder height restriction on handle bars i cant find any definitive answer
