GREETINGS. I LIVE IN CALIF AND HAVE FOUND A FABULOUS OUT-of-state XS 650 in oregon that I want to bring here. I have been looking for 10 months and this is a really great bike and I must have it!
I have every issue worked out except ....the CA DMV rules require bikes made on or after 1978 to have the EPA EMISSIONS label in order to get a new CA title and registeatio. Please see my note at the bottom regarding this silly rule.
Of course, bikes get painted, etc.
On a 1978 xs 650, I believe this label is on the INSIDE OF ONE OF THE SIDE COVERS (the back-side of the piece of plastic) or behind the headlight on the neck.
It says something like...."this motorcycles complies with all federal emmissions requirements, etc"
It is about 1" x 3"
I just need it for when i go to AAA/DMV to get new CA title.
I am willing to pay for it. If you dont need it back, great.
But, if you do want it back, no problem. I am happy to "rent" it from you and then I will absolutely return it to you. You will be helping me score a really nice xs650. I have checked re replacement labels and they are not available.
I am happy to provide you with my ID and my work ID (which will eliminate any concerns you may have re not following through with what I say I will do....ie. Pay you, return label etc. I think all labels from that year do not specifically identitfy the model, so a label from any 1978 yamaha will work. Thank you very much for considering my request. I assure you, if you are kind enough to assist me, you can count on me to return the favor, etc. In the future. I will fund the $ you request plus any shipping.
NOTE: I understand some readers may not think this label is needed, or they were able to get their bike registered without it, etc. I understand the DMV may not even look, but if they do ....it will be a headache. And, their website says you need it...i think it is secton 12.135.
If you want to read all the current law re bringing a bike from out of state into Calif., please see my only other post (and reply in same post) which refernces the DMV website.
