Lien on Harley engine?
There's a long story. But basically I have the drivetrain of a fairly new Harley Davidson that did have a lien on it. I know the engines have vins. But will I have any trouble putting this in a custom frame that has manufacturers MSO and registering it? I know the titles use the frame vin, but I didn't know if I need paperwork on the origin of the engine and transmission. The state is oklahoma.

Trouble you don't want to get involved with when you go to title it and they will bust your ***** and probably impound the bike when you try to have it inspected if the lien isn't cleared with the proper paperwork first. Pay attention to this please or it's gonna cost you .
I'd suspect the bike was broken up to dodge something legal and liens cover the bike as a whole , something stinks in that deal...............

Ca requires an engine number and VIN on motorcycle registration paperwork.
The CHP will also verify the numbers prior to registration and check those numbers on various databases.
Why not satisfy the lien? Some dude is waiting for his money.

The lien holder still wants their money that they loaned out.
What your trying to do is pretty shady.
There's a valuable lesson in that story.

Legally, ownership cannot be transferred without satisfaction of the lien.
You are likely out the money and the engine unless you can work something out with his estate.
