I have never built a "new" custom, but back in the 70's and 80's I put together a few choppers using older Panhead or Shovelhead motors. Basicly back then in Illinois or Arizona all you had to have was a title that matched the motor you were using. Everything else could be custom fabricated including frames and transmissions. I have been stopped a few times on the bikes and never hassled about ownership, including once in Texas where the LEO was a bit of a hard case. ( Four tickets out of that one! )
If you are building "new" bikes as a business like OCC I imagine the whole process is a lot different. Didn't Jesse James get into trouble for not meeting emmsions on the bikes he was building?
