But if I ever was to do it, then: Find a similar bike that is still in the system, transfer the numbers to your bike and you are away. Normally you can buy the papers from someone who has a damaged bike or someone who is stripping a bike for one reason or another.

Or you could import a frame and then you would have the customs papers.

But as I have never done this it is obviously just speculation...

And I assume you do not know anyone in USA? Well, I do actually and I think that I could convince him to help you here if you really wanted.

i've had a few private messages suggesting the same thing,i'm gonna hunt around for a frame through wreckers and a few adds,if no success i'll put her up for sale as a dirt bike and see how it goes,might be able to sell her for enough for a decent deposit,will just sit on it for a couple of weeks and see how it goes,thanks for the offer i will keep that in mind.
