I remember reading a thread some time ago when this bike was first posted:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006...motorcycles?hash=item2559984fcc#ht_500wt_1178
And I was just wondering:
-If I were inclined to possibly waste some time, where would I start researching on whether or not I could even title this bike? My first guess would be to do a title search on the VIN (I don't know how these work, but I'm guessing it would have to be a multi-state search since the dude is in KS, and says he "bought" it form Arkansas, and I live in Nebraska).
-I'd have to check with my state's DMV, and see if I can even title it here.
-If I couldn't title it, I'm guessing I could buy a salvage title and use the parts (but I have no idea to what extent I could replace parts under another VIN, again, more state statutes I'm guessing)
Anyway, Coffeyville, KS is not a far trek for myself to waste a day of my weekend to check this thing out; I was just looking for anyone with a level of expertise/competence in this area AND a few extra minutes of their life to waste pointing me in the direction they think I should go, sans telling me I'm an idiot for even considering the idea.
Thanks folks,
