help in sc? Need to register parts bike

[CrazyCourt]

Hey guys, I got a parts bike in SC and need to figure out how to register it. Any help would be awsome

I'm from PA, but you will probably have to go through public records to find the last owner with a title. Contact them and try to get it signed over.

Good luck!

just out of curiosity, why are you registering a parts bike? Do you plan on using the frame?
Here in Indiana I found out a bill of sale outweighs the title, we can get the form from the BMV or online. I walked in with a signed title and they handed me a blank bill of sale to get filled out from the guy who sold it to me.

if sc is anything like nc - good luck. find out what you have to do in your state.

in nc the options would be
- find last known title holder and get them to fill out an mv4 acknowledging you as the new title holder. but dmv won't tell you who that person is without a little cash.
- get a bonded title
- get someone in a state like michigan to register the bike for you. then have them "sell" it to you and get it registered in sc. nc doesn't accept a bill of sale unless the bike is coming from a state that doesn't use the title.

it's a major pain in the rump in nc

thanks for the help guys. Yea I bought the bike from a guy off creigslist...go figure. The thing is it is in ment condition, it was only missing a few small parts to be a complete bike, the thing is the guy would not give me a bill of sale because in sc it is illegal to sell a vehicle of any sort without title. I have no clue what i will do. Can i get a kit car title? How do i get a bonded title?

I'm in the same boat.
