Default US import to Canada

Hi guys,

I am looking for some advice....I bought a 91 softail frame from that was brought up to BC from the US but it was never registered. Does anyone have any experience with registering a frame from the US in Canada? and if so, can you give me some advice on how to do it?

Thanks!

All the info you need is on the ICBC website. Chances are you are out of luck if it wasn't imported correctly, and you cannot register a foreign(out of province) bare frame in BC, as an incomplete bike will not pass the OOP inspection.

Here is another website with good info. I imported a new FLHX in 08 and it wasn't an issue but it requires a bit of planning. In your case as the frame is already in BC so it's a matter of research. Hope it works out.
