Not that I'm advocating anything, but you should know that most Harley 
shops sell imitation D.O.T. stickers. Although they're not illegal, you 
may have to ask someone behind the counter for one. It *is* illegal if 
you put one of these stickers on your non-D.O.T.-certified helmet, but 
law enforcement officers do not have the latitude to determine whether 
the D.O.T. sticker on your helmet it genuine or not during a roadside 
traffic stop. The only thing the LEO can do is check you helmet for the 
presence or absence of a D.O.T. sticker, and potentially issue a ticket 
if your helmet lacks the sticker.
