After jumping through many hoops and performing other assorted tricks, the CHP and DMV have declared this 18 year old girl legal to ride :icon_mrgreen:

Now to take her apart and clean up her dirty bits :icon_razz:
So glad we don't have inspections here :laugh: Hell you could put plates on a lawnmower and go down the interstate in GA :o :laugh:
were the heck did everything go that was under the passenger portion of the seat?
It was lacking the rear inner fender at purchase; and I just don't like plastic. I'm going to build a new one out of aluminum and mount some of the electronics to it, and then bob the tail a little bit more.
Psshh... You don't need all that plastic anyway. :thumb:

Down the road from you in Clairemont. The bike is currently residing in Vista though.
I just enrolled in an autobody class for the fall. With the tools and paintbooth I should be able to get it looking good.
Cool, we should meet up sometime...my buddy/coworker just bought a '96 from Kee on this board.

what mods do you have done to the bike to get that speed? did you end up taking it to the 555cc limit (i believe thats the limit for the motor before you get alittle to risky)
We don't have inspection in SC,but I still had to have a home inspection by a state rep who is a state trooper.I couldn't find my VIN.The sticker on the frame was half gone and couldn't find the one on the neck.He threatened to impound my bike and gave me 24 hours to find the VIN.Found it.I had to strip and scrape all the paint off the right side of the neck.They do these inspections here because a lot of flood damaged and stolen bikes from LA and MS have turned up after Katrina hit.I'm surprised GA isn't doing it. :dunno_white:
REVISION: I forgot to mention they do an inspection on MC's with out of state titles.They check for matching VIN's.
Terrys bike Is a gixxer 750.

That's why I had so much trouble. No title and it was missing the federal and epa sticker on the frame, and the previous owner scraped the paint off the engine number so the CHP officer was wary that it was tampered with and had to double check with Suzuki to make sure everything matched and that this was a US bike.
It's usually pretty easy to register bikes here without a title if they're not in the system. I've previously only done older ones before all the regs came in place and they didn't care about any damn stickers...
