Road registration of your modified bike

[FJRider]

So my understang is... if the chassis originally had an identical engine in it , then its seen as a resurrection with modifications as opposed to a scratch built.. the rules that apply classic rebuild are not crazy loud but no gas analysis
A scratch build has to comply by today's emission rules which would attract a gas analysis..
Can anyone else offer insight on this ?

Vehicles registered with antique plates and vehicles more than 25 years old with regular passenger plates must pass safety, but not emissions, tests. Motorcycles and vehicles older than 1975 are exempt from testing. Vehicles 25 years and older are exempt from testing.

Perhaps ... get it legal first. WOF and Reg. THEN make the mods. Only the WOF check guy to argue with. Not NZTA inspectors with a mandate to uphold.

Yes in an ideal world I'd have thought. The certifier is confident it can happen on the same day. He gives it a WOF then wheels it straight into VTNZ on the same day and then they give it a WOF.
Theres obviously a relationship...as you would expect.

Thanks fj for your inputs..
I've basically done as the certifier has instructed..
It seems I'm on track ish ..

the fun part is you pay your cash over for a check, it fails, you have 28 days for a recheck, ok for a warrant but for a redesign it's a little more fun and a lot more coin to throw away.

[lozz900]

That is a valid point. A redesign would be a serious pain in the ass...
