Hi,
I'm currently trying to title my 450 project bike and decided to go the South Dakota route. Not sure if it will work out but worth a try and another opportunity to learn a bit more about the disliked part of paperwork...
So here is my question: Does anybody know where I can get a so called Manufacturers Statement of Origin or MSO? The document is only required in some states and SD needs to have it in order to re-title vehicles.
BTW, we have a similar thing in Germany which is called ABE (Allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis which basically translates as 'general approval to operate' a particular vehicle in Germany). If it's a standard car or motorcycle the authorithies usually have it on record. If you ride vintage motorcycles AND the motorcycle has been sold in Germany back in the day you can obtain such a document as a proof from the TÜV (kind of vehicle inspection organisation). So the main purpose of the ABE is to proof that the vehicle model has been technically approved already in general. I guess the MSO serves the same purpose?? I just can't find where I could get it.
