Rolls with it...
That blue one is clean, but like a high school girlfriend, I’m just not sure how’d we mesh 40 years later.... :laughing
FYI my experience was that DMV can no longer do VIN verifications on motorcycles. I was told that they all have to go through CHP. It was then confirmed by not one, but two supervisors, and later by CHP at my appointment I scheduled with them to get it done.
Of course, I found this out after waiting an hour to have it checked out by a DMV employee, then another 30 minutes in the building waiting for my number.
Not mine anymore.
My bike is from 1977. I don't think there were CARB stickers back then. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Are you keeping the motor relatively stock? Chambers or stock pipes? Points or electronic ignition? Did you have the crank rebuilt? Love the build btw. I have a soft spot for 2Ts and RDs in particular. Nothing like them.
Yep, I have re-registered a bunch of bikes I rebuilt, All smokers, CHP only does the VIN check now, What I do is go to the DMV and get the paperwork started, then off to the CHP and then back to DMV and get the title, plate and sticker...
Edit: I did run ito a problem with one bike where there was no CARB sticker on it, I explained there never was one, He wasn't going to let it through, They can flag a VIN in Cali, Now I buy a CARB sticker on Fleabay and stick it on there before I go to them, They take a quick look at the sticker every time...

my experience with VIN verifications, about 1 year ago, was that the independent places aren't allowed to do motorcycles at all. state law/regulation/policy or something.
