How to register a new, out of state CBR in CA with less than 7,500 mi?

Hi all,
I made the mistake of buying a new 06 CBR600RR out of state bike from ebay with less than 7,500 mi and I'm living in CA. Has anyone encountered this situation before. I heard a new bike with less than 7,500 mi entering CA can not be registered since it doesn't meet the emission requirements. I don't want to have to resell it and don't want to have to ride it illegally.
I was considering registering it in AZ and once I get to 7,500mi then registering it back in CA.
I was also thinking about forging the milage on the pink slip and installing a different speedometer from another bike with 7,500 or more miles. Has anyone tried this. What should I do? If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
Thanks

hmmm... forging of any sort probably isn't the best way to go. i've never heard of that law before but hopefully some of our west coast members can help out with some advice. good luck!
