Re: Putting the wrong plates on your bike..
The worst part is that i was pulled over cause my plate was zip tied to the swingarm and then out of nowhere, the cop started looking for a vin. even after the plates and my license checked out. When he couldnt find one he took the bike. even after i told him i have all the paperwork at my house that was 15 feet away.

Re: Putting the wrong plates on your bike..
Just got back from the police station... After explaining to the Detective what i use the 12 bar for, he warmed up and just kept calling me crazy. I still don't know whats going to happen to the bike though. They are pretty pissed that the vin was scratched off too.
