The old bike and old frame/VIN is gone. That's also the bike I want to avoid fees on. So unless they trace the engine # back to it then im in the clear. I actually just read that since they sent it to me with just the frame they put on the title that the odometer reading is not accurate so I guess that settles that too. And since the old bike is california the emissions are there so I don't need the 7500 rule or any of that nonsense. It's looking good I think. I just wonder if I can get away with riding around with the title incase I get pulled over since there's no plates lol. With the virus and all DMV and CHP are closed and wont be doing any inspections. I'm not trying to catch the Rona on the bus either lol.

They'll want to check the engine number etched on the engine. For you, it'll be easy to prove where the engine came from since it's yours to begin with. You'll may want to bring ownership paperwork from the old bike as documentation as well as filling out the statement of facts. In this case, they only care about the ownership of it (again to make sure it's not stolen), not that it's registered or anything.
No plates is a quick way to get pulled over so I really wouldn't suggest doing that. Also, while I get not wanting to catch anything from public transit, now would be the worst time to end up in the hospital if you get in an motorcycle accident cuz that's an even better chance of catching something there and you'd be an additional drain on resources. Just something to consider.
