DMV. You gotta fill out paperwork. Get a plate, get it inspected. Im sure a big shop like OCC has the process down and quick turn arounds.

For the prices they charge, they better get you a title quickly.

And since we're on the topic, I've always harbored a deep, secret desire to ride one of those choppers once. I don't mean the "regular" Harleys, but the real custom choppers. Anyone else feel this way?

Or am I now going to be ostracized...?

I'd love to ride one of those massive custom 100k+ choppers. Hardley Drivables are fookin retarded and 90% of the people that ride em are douchebags.

Your frame is titled nothing else. When you buy a new frame it comes with a title.

Research how much these cost before you buy one... you're looking at a minimum of $30k for a standard plain chopper... once you go custom with some custom touches and chrome, you're looking in upwards of $70k.

Also, if you saw the show on discovery where they had the ten builders compete, and you saw the blue bike with hydrolics (instead of kickstand) that won, you know the bike sold for $200k. I'd love to try to build my own but parts are extremely expensive and you need the tools and creativity to get it right.

They custom make or get their frames custom made. They're not buying them from harley or anything.
