If you're thinking about buying a salvage titled bike, check your state's DMV before you buy. In many states, you need to have receipts for all major components used in the reconstruction. That usually means buying from a retail source, no ebay or craigslist parts, nor can you use parts that you've squirreled away, unless you've got receipts. If you can find a clean titled basket case, you have no restrictions on what parts you use, or where you source them.

I finished just such a project about 3 weeks ago. I started out with a wrecked '09 FLHTP that had only 5100 miles on it when it was wrecked. I enjoyed doing it, and am very happy with the finished bike. After all is done, I could have bought a nice running bike for less money, but it wouldn't be "my bike". Choose your project bike carefully and have fun.
