Andy, just a question, not disputing - are you saying that being classed as a motorcycle in the USA the headlights have to be even closer together? On the ACE they are slightly wider apart than the above and that still seems to have meet the motorcycle requirements in (most?) US states. In the UK and EU it would be different of course as it would have to meet UK DVSA MSVA rules. Just a question, as I have some direct interest here. Cheers Peter.
Sorry Peter, I'm not an expert in this field! It just sprang to mind when I saw the Ace 2.0 and compared it to what Morgan had to do to the M3W to enable continued importation into the USA. Added to that, the Slingshot & Vanderhall both have to do something similar. Somewhere in a thread on this forum is a link to the official (very reasonable) request that Morgan made to ask for an exemption which would have allowed them to continue with the outboard headlights. It was rejected by a bureaucratic pen-pusher, thus the silly USA headlamp setup had to be developed.
