First bike is up and running!!! But with a couple problems...

I also had a problem with the spark plug cap from the CDI actually NOT fitting on the spark plug... WTF right? I jimmy'd it to work without the cap but I digress...
You have to take the "cap" off the spark plug, you just unthread it from the spark plug. I wish someone could explain why this is, but it is what it is.
 
I was just to a Ca DMV yesterday
plate required -- yes
no head light or tail light -- no stop light -- no horn
that's the way in which I read it -- it's pretty plain

the DMV book says that a license is not needed for an elect MB
but -- it does not say that one is needed for a gas MB
although the Ca Highway Patrol web site does say that for gas a license is needed

grabed a new motorcycle book which explains
same as the old book

Ca appears to be very MB friendly

so as to ride that MB thing


You may be right here's the thread I've been going by, has some links. I lost the thread with the CHP regulations, which states you need a mirror, stop light and turn signals. Seeing CHP only patrols freeways and highways and these aren't allowed on freeways. I assume you need those for highways. They are all pretty cheap to get, much cheaper then a ticket. That being said you can probably get away with out most of the stuff listed, but the only way to be sure you won't get a ticket is too have it all.
