No mate your mate is wrong ive done this to a few bikes and have never had to cert them , i was getting wof at a motorcycle shop not a vtnz as vtnz these guys tend to make there own rules up as they go along this is just the experance i have had with vtnz.

So we can all take off the shock absorbers from our cars as well, weld them all solid and she'll be right!

I'm not sure you can (legally) just fit solid struts as I dont think the mounting pins would be up to the increased force(long term) without shocks.
Whether or not you get a WOFwould depend on where you went. A bit like a side mounted number plate, some places will pass you, others either frown or fail you.

I had a side mounted plate and 110db pipes on my harley lol.went through warrant ok. the pipes were what I thought would fail me. You could always swap the solid struts after ya get a warrant anyways
