[Mr. Gooley]

It has no title, how hard is it to get a title

[cdaiscool]

Good luck. You'll have to track down who currently has the title in their name at your Secretary of State/DMV/people-who-hold-titles.

There's also shady ways of doing it, but not really going to suggest doing something that MIGHT have legal repercussions.

[shinyribs]

Im fixing to drop $200 on a uncomplete,untitled frame and a was-running-10-years -ago motor.

Yeah,I'd go 275 on that.Looks very complete. Doesnt matter i a certain part is bad or not,you gotta have something in your hand to rebuild.

If you like that model I'd jump on it.Title or not

[TOOLS1]

Every state is different about titles. GA, and AL do not have titles on older bikes. KS does not require one on a bike that is 35 years old, but MO is a bitch if there is no title. However in MO, you can petition the court, for a declaratory judgment, and get a title with that. Just check with your state DMV.

There's a thread on another forum of a guy that you sell the bike to him, he goes to his DMV which accepts bill of sales as proof of ownership, they issue him a new title, then you buy the bike back from him. If your state is a PITA to get proof of ownership without a title.

That was the shady way I'd mentioned before. But if the bike's stolen, may god have mercy on your soul - because I sure won't.

[mitchell.lee.miller]

I'd buy it.  No matter what your either going to make money off the thing or some great memories...

It's worth it.
