If you still have any info on bike (copy of title, old tag receipt, or something with serial #) maybe a title search.

If you know the buyers name you might be able to hunt him down and see what info he might have on it.

I too, live in Iowa and after contacting the local officals they stated that if I could come up with the orginial VIN numbers, and IF it was still registered in Iowa they would be able to pull it up on the computor.  I was interested in finding my old Panhead('54) and Shovelhead('79).  But alass.....I couldn't find any VIN numbers from my old bikes.   :cry:

Codyshop, In Ohio, that's against the law.  But this is a pretty uptight state.
