Chances of getting compliance on a turboed V-Rod after importing?

[RDJ]

Got a 2004 Vrod stored in LA, with a Trask turbo (fitted at the Trask facility in Phoenix a few years back).

Been a very reliable bike since I bought it in 2010; done LA-Sturgis and back twice since then (and not the direct routes) with no issues, plus a goodly number of runs PHX-LA and PHX-LV and back, along with an excellent chunk of Route 66 when I was on a longer term US assignment. It's both quick and a great touring bike too (has hard bags and a longer-range tank and assorted helpful farkles I've added) and I'd like to bring it home but... I wouldn't like to ship it here and then not get compliance.

Question: anybody on KB brought in an aftermarket-turbo'd bike and got compliance without issues? Would help me to know. Thanks!

I did ring the NZTA to inquire and, as expected, told me 'twas up to me to bring the bike here and if it gets an LVV certificate then I can get a WOF and reg; if not, then not.

(There is a turbo'd 2009 Street Glide for sale on TradeMe right now but it's not registered. Another turbo'd Rocker also on TM but as the rear tyre's got a decal still on it in the pic does not look like it's got any street miles either. So I'm wondering if NZTA is just against turbo bikes).

No different to importing a modified turbo car. That happens a bit. As long as it's safe and road worthy.

If you need someone to keep the bearings from seizing while it's in PHX let me know.

Do appreciate the selfless sacrifice, but actually they spin very freely.

Have since spoken with an LVV certifier who doubts it would pass compliance because of the straight-through-pipes set up... Hmmm... at low rpm in traffic it's perfectly well-behaved, but it does get raucous when opened out in the Everglades...

Un-modify it for the LVV then "re-modify" it afterwards.
