Many vehicles are .102in wide such as busses and some rv's, flatbed work trucks etc. Based on my experience enforcing the vehicle code as a law enforcement officer I am not aware of a "too long" reg for motorcycles. Besides if you put the rear wheels against the curb the go4 will overhang the curb and from the curb to the nose will not be more than 96 inches which is standard width of  large trucks. And anyways you can beat the ticket as a motorcycle by showing a copy of the vehicle code motorcycle parking regs and your motorcycle registration.  jonny>>
