...... The other concern is the HID modified headlights passing the VA State Inspection. It has not been a major issue to date but I have read things on the NHTSA site which lead me to believe it may be coming. I do not think they look too close to see if the Aux lights are SAE or DOT approved.

depends on the inspection station you choose. If you utilize the dealership you purchased from, they will never pimp you out, but using "other" dealers has consequences at times. I have had issues with places in Richmond when I had to scavenge some wire from my driving lights, to do a roadside repair on my C10 generator haness. I never went back to replace it and went for the inspection....they wouldn't pass me because the lights on the vehical, even though "auxiliary". were not operational....azzwipes. I rolled the bike out into the lot, removed the lights, and they passed it..... had an issue once with a truck like that also, and the inspector made a big deal, I simply picked up a hammer he had on the workbench, and smacked each light, removing them from the vehical vigorously, and ripped the wires out and thru them all in his trashcan.....turned and said "get on with the f'n inspection.
as far as the HID's go, they really do not know the difference, they simply check ON-HI-LOW and off. most inspectors have no clue what comes as standard on these bikes in the firstplace....
you'd be more wise to make sure you keep the factory muffler....that IS the next thing they will be hitting up.
