hey guys,
i found a 1977 Harley that i can get for $800.00 dollars. it runs and drives plus come with some extras, 4 seats extended fork etc.
but the con is it has no tittle, but it was purchased out of a Uhaul Storage by someone and i can get the storage papers on it from them,
think i will have alot of problems getting a tittle? and is this a decent year harley? dont know much about them myself.
worst case i could probablly buy a frame with a tittle.

get any information available from seller:
If possible get copy of sale papers the seller got at purchase from uhaul.
Get any numbers off frame and motor..any other info. from bike stamped on it..year/model
GO to a TAG shop and explain situation...GO during their slow time..they would explain process...

I have heard that there are title research companies that will trace the V.I.N. and for around 300 bucks do the legwork necessary for getting you a clean new title. Will try to get more info for you and P.M. it.

I don't know much about the older bikes like that, but I do know that $800 does not buy much so it's not a bad deal at all if it runs and goes. I think here in Ohio you can file for a lost title on a vehicle that is older and left for dead so to speak. Check with your DMV and see how much of a pain it will be to get a new title. Or you could get a bike with say a bad engine or a frame with a title and make one custom and leagal bike.

I'd trade a Twinkie for an AMF Shovel any day of the week. The bike ain't the issue, it's the legality of it all. Check state laws and figure it out. $800 for any Shovel or ironhead is a smoker if it runs and looks even remotely decent. If you get it and don't want it I'll buy it from ya.

I guy I work with has been riding a 1978 FL (AMF) to work for about 13 years. He's had no trouble and that thing still runs like a top! Get it!!
