I was told that if you have a maufacturers liscense that you can take the title from one bike/frame and swap it over to another. I was told this by a company who claims they can legally do this, you provide your frame, title and driver's liscense # Is this legal?
From state to state you never know.Most states you start out with a clean slate.NorthEast you need proof of ownership for engine, trans, frame,and front end.
I don't think I would want to send anyone a copy of my Title, Registration and Drivers License!! Too many "creative" things could be done with that information.
my last bike was custom built and titled as a special constuction. I was talking with a different builder about insurance on it and he told me that he could title it as a exotix cycle which can be found in the nada books and insurance would be cheaper. So I paid him a few hundred dollars and I got a new bike (new vin # and title) I don't know if it was legal (he said it was) but my insurance was cheaper. He was a registered exotix dealer and all the bikes he built were titled exotix so all he did was say that I traded him my special construction for one of his bikes.
