So the guy I bought my motorcycle from isn't wanting to help me get a duplicate title. He said he had one, now its lost. He is the owner, but since he doesn't live in new york anymore they can't duplicate the title. I know its not stolen. Plus, new york has purged the title from the system since it hasn't been registered in 15 years.
Anyone know of what I could do? I was considering salvage/abandoned or maybe since I'm converting to electric, could it be considered a rebuilt/Kit vehicle? I know There's title services, but I'm not sure what I get... and if it will even jive with the Oregon DMV. Oregon said no title for me, if I don't have the title. But i remember a guy a couple years back saying that its easy to get a lost title for a motorcycle. Thanks for any suggestions.
