Hey guys here's my 87 cane 1000 the day that I got her... I never got a chance to post a pic. Sorry she's not like all of the other beauties around here... Haha she was going to be though!

 

Good luck !
No reason why you can't visit here.
Who knows, maybe a better 1000F is in your future.

 

Yeah bjjrev, get another one and use what you have for spares!Whatever happens, good luck.

 

Thanks bro...looks like I didn't want to get rid of her bad enough... Haha people said my prices are too high... Maybe I'll just start looking for a frame with a title...

 

That's the spirit .......and what I'd do if I were you ..... or another more complete parts bike

 

Can't you get that frame registered and a new plate fixed on or the existing one altered? This might be a stupid question as I'm not familiar with the requirements over there...I had to ask though.

 

The requirements here are that for me to get the title to the bike the original owner (Texas) has to bring a notorized letter to his local DMV saying that he releases the bike to me then my state( Louisiana) has to decide if I get it or not. Garbage process. We have tried contacting the guy quite a few times and he doesn't answer.

 

What a load of bs! I suppose they've got to make it as hard as possible for the crims to 'recycle' stolen vehicles, but it makes it bloody hard for the honest restoration like you're trying...There's no loophole if you can prove to have made all reasonable attempts to contact the guy??

Surely there's a national database of stolen vehicles with vin numbers etc. and, if it's not on there, what's their problem? Too logical, I know..


What a waste of a frame!

 

I agree bro... I would accept a salvaged title even...

 

How old is the frame?

Quick search of the Lousiana DPS says you can get a "Good Faith" title

Provides for the issuance of a certificate of title to a person in good faith possession of a vehicle without a bill of sale or current record of ownership upon which to base the issuance of a new title, provided:

• The vehicle is 25+ years old
• It hasn't been registered in the past 3 years in any state
• It had been abandoned for 3 years.

The last 2 are prolly easy. But can it meet the first requirement?
