G'day
Victoria doesn't have annual inspections like NSW, so modifications are more likely to go unnoticed. My mechanic has been warned to make sure any modifications are approved when doing an annual inspection. The NSW RTA has Inspectors running around checking up that the annual inspections have been done correctly. If a mechanic gets caught out a couple of times, he loses his inspection license (and gets a big fine).
A mate was at work when 2 Inspectors showed up to recheck his Jackaroo that had recently been inspected. They went all over it looking for any defects.

The problem I have is that most of my stories end with... and that is why I am not allowed to go back there!

The problem is getting any mods Engineered. There is only one Engineer in our area and he is always booked for the foreseeable future.

I work with engineers all time for work as well, The engineers we use are for bikes and for some stupid reason they are not the same. I'm over the engineer thing. Last mouth, I put my fairlane thats been in the back shed for the last 8 years, on club rego. I had to join a club ($50), a scrutineer does a check ($50) , He gives you a form for Vicroads. I went to Vicroads and paid $70-$80, that includes plates, logbook the lot. Thats 45 days rego, and I can up it to 90 days if I want. I know I build things safe, and my welds are good and there is a reason to have clearance, so now I don't have to waste money on engineers and full rego. My LWB Beddie is going club rego when its due, cause I'd be lucky to use it 45 days a year, my ratrod will be on club rego next week, as it was scrutineered yesterday. I'm spewing that they don't do bikes, but I think that is just this club I joined. So, my way from now on is all dailys go on full rego, other than that, they go club rego. And yes the fairlane and ratrod are modified
make it reliable, or smash it with a big hammer
