  • Need titled XJ frame.

    I picked up a good bike, but no title, and it's going to be a HUGE mess trying to get one since the bike came from out of state.

    Anyone anywhere close to Oklahoma have a cheap titled frame sitting around?

    I've used this title company 4 or 5 times now with good results , and it will no doubt be cheaper than finding another frame , getting it shipped , and then having to switch all the stuff on your bike over to the new one . they some how get the bike titled in a state that doesn't require titles and then they send the title to you . the last bike I did it on was a cb750 , the owner couldn't find the title right away and said he'd look for it , but he never did find it . I went this route and had an Alabama title in like 2 weeks , then I just re-titled it in Virginia .

      That's good to know. That's definately cheaper than the 3-400 they are estimating it's going to cost here, but still more than I'm willing to pay right now. There won't be any shipping charges. If someone has one within a state or so from me, I'll go get it. Plus, I'm wanting to powder coat whatever frame I get anyway, so either way, the bike will get stripped down.

        i just bought a nice titled frame off ebay about 2 weeks ago. it came out to $110 shipped and I received it in 2 days from Va to Co. I was very happy.

        This is the cheapest I can find ATM on ebay. You could get it for about $200 shipped

          title or no title

          ok i have a question.. i plan to build a custom bike and use the XS motor.
          How in the world do you title something that is new and custom?

          crap load of time spent modifying it = Priceless
          My bike has the XS motor but can't really call it XS11
          (or at least it still looks like the XS motor)
          it has about 50% of the frame left from the XS bike

            Depends on the frame you're using. If the frame itself is full custom and new, you can sometimes register by serial number. A lot of customs use Harldley engines and use the SN off the engine to register. but if you are building a custom out of a modified frame, you just title it as whatever the frame was from.

            For example, my FZR600 has parts from about 6 different bikes, all newer, but it is titled and registered as a FZR due to the frame. Which is nice because insurance is really cheap on a 20 year old sportbike.
