So I can get plates for my motorbike if I send away that form with 18$? What should I tell them when it asks for serial #, etc?

use the serial number off your bike frame. that way, if it gets stolen and they recover it, you can get it back.

or, get a punch set from harbor fright and make your own. something clever...

If you are even thinking about building a moped in the State of California the 1st step should be sending out for your plates.

On June 2, 2009 I mailed a completed moped plate form along with $19 to Sacramento and still haven't received anything yet.

I just got off of the phone with them (September 16, 2009) and they said that it cleared last week and I should receive it in approximately 2 weeks.

Longer than 3 months, lol.

print out form 230 from DMV website under Vin I put teh vin # of my bike then to make the vin 17 #s like a car i put the name of my bike to fill in the rest so i looked like CRANBR###########. I have a Huffy Cranbrooke.
Engine # i just put the spark plug product #
Make was HUFFY
Fill out the rest and mail in with $19. ( this was in 2009)
Wait 3 weeks and you get it.

My registration papers says it is a motorized bicycle but under body type it has the code MP (moped?) and says it is a moped under type vehicle use.

heard it can take a few tries
Good Luck

@TwoWalks

I got nailed by the 5% today, went off for about 45 minutes cause he kept saying "I Think", when a CHP says "I Think", that's a good time to make him define more and more of what he "Thinks" he's trying to say.
