I once bought a harly after one of the shops noticed altered vin #s he strongly recomend I not take the bike to Sturgis SD. he said to cops were heads up about stuff like that up there.

Sold the bike to my best friend and he sold it last month (15yrs or so later).

When I bought it the title seem good. the vin #s were stamped crooked. I noticed the later after the purchase.

long story short between my friend & I bet we didnt have 500 miles on that piece of $#!T.

Since then I double check every thing I can on a purchase like that.
