Without getting too bogged down, I was told by my first Triumph dealer =
in Denmark (while I was living there) that all bikes imported into =
Denmark had to be modified, particularly bikes from England, as we drive =
on the left, they on the right. It had something to do with the light =
casting its beam too far to the left for right-side drivers. My guess is =
- - and I could be wrong - that bikes are supplied "as is" or standard =
from the factory and then modified by the dealers or =
distributors/importers after reaching the country of import.
I believe the same thing goes for speed-modifing widgets in Sweden and =
possibly also speedometers, as UK manufacturers were quite slow to put =
kph on their speedos in addition mph - but I could be wrong.
I would suggest contacting the principal importer (or one of them) and =
asking them what, if anything, they actually do before selling the bikes =
onto the dealers.
