ATV Discounter Scam thread + Fraudulent title thread

[mrhyak]

The year of your bike is what it says on the title, not what the manufacture date is on the frame. Lifan does not have model year bikes, they have bike styles that are exactly the same from 2006 to 2008 and the only difference is what is on the title.

In 2000/01 the Russians went through some restructuring at their factory and new bike production stopped for a couple of years. The Ural company in the USA sold the exact same bike between 2001-2003 but the bikes were tagged depending on what year they were sold even though all were manufactured in 2001. Unless you need an inspection the only thing you will need is your title to get your plates/tags. If you open your mouth and start talking vin discrepencies you will only be causing yourself headaches. As long as the vin number on the title matches the one on the frame that is all you need.

If they make a stink about the title, saying it is not legal for the roads then maybe you could put it through inspection, but your mods you've been doing to it could cause it to fail inspection. You really should get your paperwork and so forth taken care of before you start modifying the bike, but that's your call.

FWIW........
