[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 11908891, member: 10303"] Had a similar incident happen with the Monterey PD years ago. I bought a bike at their police auction that was missing an engine. Back then Kawasaki had the same serial number on the frame as on the engine. The engine was the only thing that was reported stolen. Bought another Z-1 that had been smashed in a traffic accident and the only good part was the engine. Put the two together. A year later I got pulled over (speeding, of course) and more and more police cars started arriving. The Monterey PD had never specified that only the engine had been reported to be stolen. Luckily for me I had kept ALL the paperwork from the police auction showing that I had legally bought the rolling frame and the bike wasn't stolen. And the cops still wanted to arrest me and keep the bike. I suggested that they call the Monterey PD and verify that the bike was legit, they did and I was finally let go. And they didn't even write me for speeding. So even if the engine you bought is legit the rest of the bike may be in the computer as stolen. Better check with the DMV and verify that everything is OK before you spend any more money. [/QUOTE]
