Yellow Plates and kill switch question

Is it okay to just make my novice yellow number plate out of rows of Yellow tape? It won't look great up close, but I'm thinking it will be okay until I can get the bike over to the Vynal shop in 2 weeks.

Does my bike have to have a kill switch? Right now it has a keyed ignition and a starter button. To turn the bike off you have to move the key to the off position. Is this sufficient?

 

yes. yellow duct tape works just fine. with magic marker numbers

must have a kill switch

chapter 8, section 2
g) All racebikes must have an operating and marked engine kill switch on the handlebars. Dead man tethers are allowed and are suggested.

 

Believe a lot of the guys here are using a kill switch for a newer Honda CBR model. It's just a two screw kill switch that you clamp to the bar and wire up.

 

Yeah, it becomes important when your bike cartwheels multiple times and it becomes apparent that the key was not meant to be a load-bearing structure. Mine snapped off.

 

I did an entire bike using that idea. Looked pretty good.
