license plates

[MX175]

Maybe this is the wrong forum, but I want to put license plates on my KDX so that I don't get hassled when I am riding gravel roads between trails. I only have a bill of sale, no title. I called the Illinois Secretary of State's office and it seems to be a little bit of a hassle to get the bike titled and plated. Does anyone know if it is easier in Iowa, Wisconsin, or Georgia? I have relatives in those States that would help out. My '80 KDX175 has a title and plates, but I resurrected this '85 and I'd like to go riding with my son.

Thanks for your help,
Mark

You can't get it done in Iowa. I use an expired trailer plate. Good luck.

I live in ontario but I had a similiar problem, Back in 80 they didn't register the bikes with ownerships or anything and alls they did was give a bill of sales so you have to go get a ownership using your bill of sales by going down to like the ministry of transportation and once you get an ownership you should get a liscense plate if you
ask. But again I live in canada so it may be different.

If you can find someone in Michigan it's a piece of cake. I lived there all my life, you could register a YZ80 without lights if you knew some people. I passed with non-functioning tailight and non-dot tires. All the inspecting cop said was "I would ride that on the road", then checked it off as good.

Georgia is impossible from what I hear. I just renewed my Michigan registration (got my new tags today). The locals tell me there is no way I would ever get tags from Georgia for my bike, even though it is titled and registered as a street bike in Michigan. Evereone around here has Virginia plates if the bike isn't a stock dual sport.

Just get another plate for the '80 bike and put it on the newer one. Rural use probably never a problem. However, varies from state to state. Cheers John
