Hi so today i finally did the targa fender eliminator kit but now i have not got my california plates and i am looking for someone plate to put it on till i get my plates

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?

Sound Wave · February 14th, 2009, 11:50 PM

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.

kkim · February 15th, 2009, 12:15 AM

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.

So ...That is your " Before" picture

kkim · February 15th, 2009, 12:21 AM

what gave it away, the date in the time stamp?

No...The wheelie bar

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!!

Good luck 00v_Lucky!!

we get a temp registration paper to put it in our pocket

kkim · February 15th, 2009, 01:44 PM

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.

bikermunda · February 16th, 2009, 01:57 AM

well that will make a lot of sense

but again sense is not that comon either

noche_caliente · February 16th, 2009, 10:05 AM

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

00v_Lucky · February 16th, 2009, 10:11 AM

WHOOO~ my license FINALLY came in! i love the red tape. 6 months wait for a damn license plate.

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