Its not hard to get a new igntion set complete with both keys for a stolen bike. A better question is how do you have a bike with no vin plate? You really shouldn't buy stolen bikes, it just further promotes bike theft. Do you even have it registered or have papers for it?

prolbley not i think that he just bought it because it was a good deal. kinda like myspree he riped the one off his 85 spree before he sold it to spookey and slaped it on his 86

i realy dont think its stolen. im only the third owner. i just think it came off somewhere and never got put back or sumtin. i might have even accedentalty tore it off on one of them dirt trails i was on.

No, your off-topic scooter discussion is meant to be right here, in off-topic land. And lucky you, it is being discussed.

For the HI guys: in MI 50cc scooters aren't titled like cars, they're just registered using the VIN plate, so there's no paperwork to transfer at sale other than a BS bill of sale. The state just checks to see if the VIN shows up as stolen.

As for the Tank, any chance it never came with a VIN? If the plate fell off while riding, then it's an even bigger POS than I thought, as it's supposed to be permanently attached.

Can you trace ownership back to the original purchaser? B/c I think it's stolen too.

You need to either run down a new piston or part it out; that engine restore ain't gonna do it.
