Title's on imported bike's

Awesome buddy. Good luck with the machine and the new job.Cheers

well i havn't mentioned this until now because ive done a lot of sulking and drinking in my shed looking at my bike.

but the title company returned both applications for a title.
it seems because my bike is a uk model it only has 12 digits in its vin number and they wont help me!

on the 23rd Dec i contacted the local state troopers asking about getting a mass assigned vin number so i could get a title and reg, he said he would be in touch!

on the 14th feb i decided he had forgotten me and called back left a message,
he called me back,
i refreshed his memory regarding my bike and he said fax him the paperwork from uk,

reg,
bill of sale,
letter of conformaty from kawasaki,
customs paperwork,
shipping paperwork,
inspection paperwork.
i also told him i had close to 8,000 bucks in receipts going back to 93 when i got the bike he said hold on to those for now...

that was 2 weeks ago...
i called him again on Monday with no reply yet!
still hasn't called me back
still don't have a title.
feeling kinda hard done by right now...
is it to much to ask i guess so.

if there is anyone out there who is wiling or able to help me get a title or has a idea of how to get one pls let me know,

short of buying a new frame and title off ebay im lost for idea's and just keep drinking beer in my shed sighing.......

I havent read thru the entire post, and maybe someone has already said this, but what about trying to register it as a custom built bike, and forgo the uk papers?

how about just swapping frames,or steering heads?ill swear up and down that bike began its life as a 1980 kz1000ltd i sold you a frame for!

in mass it would still need to be seen by the same state cop and assigned a mass vin number

that is what i may have to do bro.
but it would be a crime to hide my vin number because its proof its a original elr chassis but im close to just buying a frame i just want this to be the only option i have...
