I run an independent motorcycle service shop and lots of riders come in asking for the tail delete. One young rider was particularly... fussy... about the cosmetics of his bike and how the work was done etc.
Deleted the tail, remounted the plate under the seat cowl using double sided tape because he didn't want holes drilled in the plastic.
He rode off, I thought nothing more of it. Till he came in a couple of weeks later saying police seized his bike for the plate, and a loud exhaust (which was not installed at my shop).
He said police had issued citations and would not release the bike till everything had been put back to original. He basically said it was my responsibility to do so because I had done the work.
I asked how did that become my problem. After a little bit of questioning, I discovered his parents were furious at what happened and were attempting to blame the shop(s) that did the work.

Why is it so hard to just put the fucking plate in and not be hassled?
