Sorry for the old thread revival but there’s some good info here!
Hi guys, new member here. I’ve got an ‘03 Ducati Monster that was totaled because it was backed into while on the kickstand. Broke the kickstand, mashed the bars up good, and left a small dent in the tank(which is what caused the “total” designation). Previous owner fixed the bars and I replaced the kickstand. My concern is he also replaced the turn signals, headlight, and tail light with aftermarket ones. The rear tail light/ turn signal combo unit has me very concerned although it says DOT ST(stop/turn signal). It scrolls the turn signal in the side of the tail light on the turning side. Worried they won’t pass inspection. Has anyone dealt with this? Very clean bike otherwise. Guess I should include some pics. Thanks for any help!
I’ll likely be going to the Bucyrus Ohio inspection post if anyone has any info on them as well!
Salvage title, what to expect on inspection day?

Thanks guys for the info. My father in law has 20 year old info from his experience too but thought it was mostly about checking replacement parts, receipts, and Vins. Didn’t think it involved a safety inspection. I’ve searched here a bit and it seems to go back and forth between the two. Feel like it depends who u get to inspect that day. I’ll keep every receipt I can muster because that seems to help. It’s very clean and other than the rear turn signal/brake unit I think I’m ok. Id rather not get back into the wiring to revert back to stock because:
1.) Although I’m a vintage guy and like to keep things stock these LED lights are MUCH brighter and probably safer.
2.) Ducati’s are historically known(at least the older ones) as not being that exceptional in the electrical department. It currently works, and I’d rather not tempt the Italian gremlins!
I suppose a pic is an order. Here’s a dreary November pic from a quick test ride down to the Mohican covered bridge area. Good cornering restraint test ride! Thanks for your help!
