In 1998 i titled and registered a bitsa motorcycle in Texas. It was composed of bits of four different brands of bikes. I had bills of sale for all the major parts and receipts for everything else (I mean everything including the tubes). The frame came from a shop in Dallas with a nice Texas approved bill of sale, the motor was purchased 30 years before at a Kansas City MO swap meet and the bill of sale was written on an envelope.
The bike had to be inspected at an inspection station and the inspector looked at the serial numbers and compared them with the corresponding bills of sale. Finally he wanted to see the receipts for everything else including the tires and tubes. When he was satisfied he signed off on a DMV form and I headed back to the DMV. It cost me about $100 total to get the title, tag and registration. I was given pointers by local hot rod builders and they were correct. They not only told me which DMV office to approach but also told me specifically which clerk had the knowledge and attitude to help me.
