| H.O.G. Member Site | Motorcycle Laws by State | Must be a National H.O.G. member to reach this info, but hey we’re all current active members, right?!  |

| Motorcycle Safety Foundation | June 2010 | Equipment Chart | Very thorough but can be a bit confusing at first. Cover helmets, eye protection, Rearview Mirror, Fenders, Handlebar Height, Passenger Seat, Passenger Footrests, Passenger Handhold, Headphones, Turn Signals, Speedometer / Odometer, Daytime Headlights, and Inspections |

We try to keep this up to date, please let us know if you find something more recent that we can link to that meets as much of the below as possible …
- freely available (i.e. don’t have to be a “member of this or that” in order to get access) AND is
- non-judgmental (i.e. insurance companies have great lists, but often mark things as “good” or “poor”), AND is
- non-political (’nuff said), AND is
- non-advertorial (a logo and contact info is OK, pushing services or items not so much), AND is
- dated so that we know when the information was produced.
