Just thought I would put up a thread on Registration requirements for NSW.

For those of you that dont know me, I do Blue Slips in NSW.

If you have any questions on registration standards in NSW, please feel free to post and I will try and answer the question.

Say you are building a custom motorcycle, or want to register a trailer, or modify a car, then post your question.

Even if it is as simple as paying your rego online.

The answer to all your questions is simple. Follow the rules, procedures and protocols for your relevant state and you cant go wrong. You can still build a fantastic looking bike following simple guidelines. Most of the questions posted, can all be found on the Dotar website.

Alright Scotty, look before I make any comment, give me the opportunity to gather more information. I will make some phone calls and try to get reasoning behind this myth. I am sure there are more, but this is the way I was trained. May be the training is wrong or needs to be revised. One of the reasons that the RTA carries on about is the drives code. It is located under Road Vehicle descriptor online on the NSW RTA website. You take the approval number off your compliance plate, which is located on the top LHS of the compliance plate. Select search RVD which opens up other drop down fields. Select type as motorcycle and type in your approval number under CPA number. Select make as Harley Davidson and hit search. It brings up all Harleys post 1999. Select the bike you want and it presents you with a list of information. Pre 1999, the information is available on disc which I have. Anyone can access this information post 1999.  I have to follow this to the tee when registering vehicles.

I have just spoke to few people regarding this issue. What there saying is that in NSW the RTA record what is on the compliance plate as far as year model. Yes if Harley says it is a 2010 model, then it is. But if complied in 2009 the year model reflected on the rego papers will be 2009. They told me if ordering parts, you would say it is a 2010 model. So if you came to me to register your Harley defined 2009 model bike, I will always follow the compliance plate for registration purposes only, which I always have.
