Just bought a K0 bike, and new to the group

[GTP]

Just wanted to hi to everyone. I just found a red K0 CB750, built in 4/70. It's very original, pretty much unchanged. It sat in a office for most of its life, so it has less than 12K miles. The guy I bought it from has owned it since 1970. I'm in the process of cleaning the carbs (lots of gunk....), changing the oil, and installing a battery. And of course, polishing it up. According the original owner it hasn't been run since since 94. Eventually I will need to repaint it as there is some paint fading, and what looks like a drip stain from brake fluid or something.

The original owner registered the bike from Non-Op status back in 94. Not thinking he had a new plate issued then. Since then the bike has been on Non-Op status. Fortunately he kept the original blue/yellow plate.  I'm going to try to get the old plate back on the bike.

Anybody have any experience of registering a bike using an old plate?

I look forward to the talking to the experts, and maybe meeting up with folks in So Cal.

Nice find!!  You should be able to use that original plate as long as you have documentation showing that plate was on that bike (old Reg, title ect.), the dmv might try to take it, don't let'em!!!!!

Check w/ your DMV, all states are different.  A lot of states, if you can get a 'historic' plate, you can run the antique plate as long as you have the original on hand.  IE in a car, the stickered plate in the glove box, on a bike, maybe under the seat or sandwiched in between the antique tag and the bracket.  Point being you have to display the registered tag when/if pulled over.
