don't you have to run your paper temporary plate until the real one comes in? i don't know how it is in california.

i guess if you wanted to run something else until your plate came in, you could laser print the kawasaki or ninja logo, laminate it, and put that in your frame. idk. just a thought.

No we don't get the temp plates for the bikes but i was trying to look for some license plates like you can buy from gifts stores

how do the police tell if the bike is registered and properly licensed or not w/o some sort plate, temp or permanent?

hey vik... it must only be like 2-3 weeks for your plate to come in, right? i would just save my money and ride with no plate, or make some ghetto plate like i was talking about. if done right, it should look pretty decent.

You'll be fine. Just put the dealerships plastic plates in for now. It took like 6 weeks to get my plates and I didn't get pulled over once. Make sure you have your registration on hand though in case you do though ;)

I don't know how they would. I had a temp license that i had to carry in my wallet for a week.

we have temp cardboard/paper plates that are issued with the date on them so the cops know. The permanent plates usually show up within 30 days in the mail.

It is okay, i think I win on the wait for the license plate coming in. I bought my beauty on September first, been waiting ever since. Damn stealership has the worst customer service. I called in 2 times every week. Finally they settled everything with the DMV and hopefully get it this week!

Stealership? Don't know if that was a typo but it sounds hilarious!! :lol:

Good luck 00v_Lucky!!

so they would need to stop you to find out if the unplated bike you are riding is illegal or not? It would seem a lot less hassle for everyone to issue dealer temp plates like they do here.

Vik - i think you should just print out one of the ninjette.org logos from the contest thread and stick that on there :)

When I lived in San Diego we got those temp paper plates. Guess they stopped to save a tree :)
