Now (July) it's a DIY job.

Quote:



"Reclassification of modifications to change a motorbike's seating capacity
- Commences 1 July 2014
As part of Queensland Government's commitment to reducing red tape and regulation, Transport and Main Roads has conducted a review into the approval requirements for changes to a motorbike's seating capacity.
As a result of this review, Transport and Main Roads has decided that these modifications will now be reclassified as basic modifications, meaning that vehicle owners will be able to self-certify the modification, provided the modification meets the requirements of the LL section of the National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification. Certification by an Approved Person and affixing of a modification plate will no longer be needed for this modification.

This means that from 1 July 2014:

A motorbike owner who wants to change the seating capacity of their vehicle can do so without needed to see an Approved Person.
The technical requirements about seat length and pillion foot provisions still apply and must be followed. These can be found in the LL section of the National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification (PDF, 267 KB).
Until these changes start, if you want to change the seating capacity of a motorbike you must follow the current process and have a modification plate fitted by an Approved Person.
In the coming weeks, Transport and Main Roads will write to all Approved Persons who are currently accredited to certify motorbike seating capacity modifications to tell them about the change."

Not a clue.
Haven't done it.

I'd image the reverse.
Turn up, fill in form, they look at bike,
But then you pay the extra CTP.

Suncorpe just said they will sort a refund.
Can't be don't through Qld Transport.
