Did you get this registered without any issues? I am in the California area and contemplating something like this
@ElkhornRich2 жыл бұрын
@@JesseLColon It's been quite awhile since I registered it. But, I recall that I had to get some additional paperwork from TX, which they oddly didn't send with it originally. They were helpful and sent it along. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the information was. Seems it was something that defined the bike as an off road vehicle. It could only be ridden from Oct 1 to May. It enabled it to get a red sticker. I've checked my papers but handed everything over to the buyer last year. However, it was then easy to register in CA. Two years is enough time for the laws to change so do you homework. If no change you shouldn't have a problem with the paperwork. Don't know if this helps. Good luck.
