What's it take to get the bike legal?

My GY-5 is from American Lifan. Got my 30 day tag, have insurance, passed the DL test (Yahoo!), what's left? Obviously get a real tag soon but do the police have to inspect my bike before they'll tag it?

I've bought 2 used out of state bikes before and they had to inspect them to tag them. Wondering if they will need to with a new bike?

When I'm done with all that I'm going to mod the exhaust and hopefully the fairing and front fender some more.

Savage, it seems to be up to the individual state, and you don't say where you are from. Lifans are supposed to be 49 state street legal, whether American Lifan or gray-Lifan, but Mdsuave has hit a snag as far as gray-area Lifans go in Maryland.

if you bought your bike at a dealer they should have done all that needed done (at least mine did),or at least tell you what was your responsablity to do to get it legal.

I work at the dealer. lol
I think I'm good to go. Asked a guy today if he had to get his Honda inspected when he bought it new. I'm not use to buying new.

Time to tap the muffler, chop the license, install new headlights and some other fun mods. :P

Dealer seems to be the way to go, not a whole lot of registration issues in most states...
