Might want to ask someone at a custom motorcycle shop.

If you're starting with a bike frame, you have a serial number for the bike already....

Probably. Most likely don't need the receipt for the kit though. Just the bike. But it might not be good enough. Check to see if they allow submittal of a notarized affidavit stating that you in fact do own the bike.

Basically a statement on paper saying that you guarantee that you are the legal owner of the bike, and you would sign it in front of a notary and they would sign it and attach their seal.

Anyway, like I said in the other thread, probably a good idea to call up your dmv and start working on your google-fu

first check with DMV department of your state. Where I live in new york you can only register a bike with an MCO manufacturer certificate of origin. They do not allow homemade gas bikes.
