Any one know how to research as to when turn signals and mirrors became required for a motorcycle to be operated on the streets of Alaska?
I'm running into difficulties with the DMV trying to get a title for the project bike and get it registered when I get it finished up. The project bike is a 1968 Bushwhacker, a 175cc single cylinder enduro. I purchased it from a guy who picked it up at a storage facility auction. The DMV is arguing that the bike needs to be running and street legal before they will title it, on top of having a surety bond for two and 1/2 X the estimated value of the bike. I got a estimate on the bike for $150 and purchased a surety bond but the DMV won't give me a title until it is street worthy. I got the bike cheap because the bike was vandalized, the headlight, tail light and speedo were busted up. To get it road legal and find out that I won't be able to title or register is going to be a kick in the shorts.
