I was pulled over in Florida for not having a rear-bumper on my pick-up truck (perfectly legal in NJ).
But it was mostly because the cop wanted to see what I was carrying - we were moving my friend down there - so my pick-up was obvious in carrying a lot of weight.

As long as your vehicle is legally equipped in the state it is registered in, you can't be fined or ticketed. However, you may/can be stopped, but technically, it isn't right to do so.
Your bike has to meet DOT regulations too.
for instance, NJ does not require signals or have any specific muffler laws. So a bike without signals can be registered and pass inspection. However, I bet NY police would pull you over. If they issued a ticket, it wouldn't hold up in court. Still a nuisance though.

For me - and a lot of people, it is cheaper to pay the ticket than lose a day's wages fighting a $100 or less ticket.

let alone the cost of gas to drive back to the state should it be of any great distance.

Can you still pay on the spot in Montana?
