Hello,
I live in CA and have a Kawasaki Police motorcycle with working yellow and white strobes installed. The bike also has working electronic air horn and siren system. There are no police badging and I do not dress or act like a cop, never turn the lights or sirens on, wear a normal harley helmet...etc. Can I be pulled over just or riding normally? Can I be cited for riding this bike? I know yellow and white strobes are legal for civilian use, but what about having a siren installed? Any insight would be appreciated...

Okay Im hearing that the bike is legit but the siren is a problem. The siren also has a electronic air horn which is the bikes only available horn. If i disable the siren completely I will not have use of any horn. Will this excuse fly when being pulled over? I literally "never" turn on the police siren part but use the electronic horn as the normal bike horn.
Whats the penalty for being pulled over with the police siren installed and working.... jail time, a fix it ticket (assuming I never used it, just cop found it when pulling me over) or what could happen?
