Yes, but a lot easier to notice a plate back then with an expired or no sticker vs now that there are no stickers at all - cops need to use ALPR or manually run them instead of eyeballing.

Tank bolts were just some M8 bolts i bought same thread pitch and yes of course it is , it was the way he didnt want to go ahead with it was and is my problem then charge me the full price to not put it in the tablet ...at least then id of known if there were anything seriously wrong with it...not cosmetic **** ..also said i had a massive oil leak ...which is crazy talk my bike is sitting behind me in my dining room and hot or cold no leaks .. it was just his lack of wanting to do it that makes me upset because I wasted 2 weeks of time booking that appointment thinking I was going to get on the road within a couple days of that at least now I've got to book another appointment and wait another probably week or two you know what I'm saying 60 bucks is f****** nothing dude
I appreciate all your guys's input now I know what I can do Monday while I'm waiting to book for the next safety cuz I do want it safety that I do want to be able to ride it legit So yeah thank you guys
One more quick question which registration usually run cost wise
Perhaps they may still issues them to bikes but you would just be expected to have it on you if asked by the PD.I've seen them inside the windows of cars. I've never seen one on a bike..

I got this temp paper plate when I bought one of my previous bikes in Ottawa for cheap adn rode it back home - no need safety adn good for 10days. You don’t need to “stick it” to a bike, just to have it with you. I mounted one of my existing previous bikes plate to the bike to avoid the attention riding with no plate. Nobody stopped me so can’t say how cops react on these..

Complain to the shop, outlining exactly what you posted here, unless he's the owner. Ask him to show you all the problems and take pics for yourself. If he does't want to resolve this, then name the shop in here so the rest of us know who to avoid. Then forward all of this to MTO as a complaint - the whole point of this new system is to reduce fraud (both ways), so they must have some way to snitch.

For a temp plate, you can get regular layes or use an existing set if you attatch them to the vehicle. They don't put a temp sticker on anymore.
As for safeties on bikes, the biggest change I've noticed are the costs - around here they have doubled -- and if your bike has drums expect another $50 per wheel. I could get a bike safety for $125 last year, today it's $250+.
Also, dedicated bike shops appear to flag discretional fail items - more liberally - likely because they \generate repair revenues and customers are anxious to get their bikes on the road. I was at a local Kawi shop a few weeks ago and overheard the serice guty tell a customer - we fail all tires more than 5 years on the date code, any visible rust on the chain, no aftermarket levers, controls, signals, mirrors or exhaust unless they were installed here. Common things for bike shops to fail clear pass items are tires, chains and sprockets, head bearings, afermarket controls, mirrors and lighting - a local shop also marked fail on a friend's Goldwing because it had a sheepskin stitched to his saddle.
I'm more than capable of doing an inspection -- but not liceced to issue a cert. I've never had a bike fail, but have had heated discussions about non safety items that my local powersports place tried to gouge me on by markeing them a discretionary safety concern (clip style masterlink, fork gaiters replacing fork seal dust covers, aftermarket signals, and a deleted cosmetic side cover come to mind.
I now use use a regular auto shop that has a tech with a motorcycle licence - they tend to do safeties by the book and are not hunting down revenue opportunities to fail for non safety items. My local Canadian Tire does bike safeties, and doesn't charge customers for reinspection of failed items if they return the bike to be rechecled within 20 days.
