For Questions Regarding WOFs/CERTs/NUMBER PLATEs

[RUNAMUCK]

The very same bike was sold as both a 90, and a 110 too  

Mine literally never had side flashers from new. (1968)

Silly question time.

Need to remove cert plate on fire wall to repaint engine bay.

Drilled out rivets but seems adhesive backed as well, i gonna properly munt this plate removing it so is there big issues getting it remade and handing my old creased one like with number plates?

The correct answer is only a certifier is allowed to remove and replace a cert plate, anything else is illegal and bad.

Same with vin tags, except only a tsda/testing station can remove or replace those  

A replacement cert plate is about $50 plus however much a certifier charges you for their time 

 

An outlaw would probably give the plate a gentle warm up with a hair dryer or heat gun and slide a razor down behind it or tooth floss or fishing nylon to release the adhesive, which would prevent the plate being damaged

But that would be illegal so don't do that

I did do the razor blade on corner and pretty much popped off.

Much win by the sounds 

 

/no illegal photographic evidence attached

Was yarning with someone recently about a similar removal (vin though) that meant future roadworthiness of a vehicle was in the hands of NZTA $$. I assume they noticed rivets / damage around them. Don't remove plates, it can really ruin your cereal. I masking taped (very neatly) my build plate when respraying and it looked sweet as.

haha the vin tag fell off (like really fell off, not "fell off") my brother's surf when we were working on it recently. It's now safely reattached with new rivets.
