(1)As used in KRS 186A.115 and this section, "custom-built motorcycle" means a

motorcycle as defined in KRS 186.010(15) that has been built from one hundred

percent (100%) new parts to the individual specifications of:

(a)The individual who built the motorcycle who will personally use the

motorcycle;

(b)A specific known prospective owner of the motorcycle who is purchasing the

motorcycle at retail; or

(c)A person engaged in the business of building and selling motorcycles who is

building the motorcycle for purposes of retail sale to an unknown buyer.

(2)A person who has either personally custom-built a motorcycle or who has purchased

a custom-built motorcycle shall be issued a first certificate of title after complying

with the provisions of this subsection. The person shall, prior to applying for the

certificate of title, apply to the Transportation Cabinet for a vehicle identification

number under the provisions of KRS 186A.090. When applying for a first

certificate of title for a custom-built motorcycle, the person shall apply in the office

of the county clerk of the county in which he or she resides and provide the clerk

with the following:

(a)Written documentation authenticating that one hundred percent (100%) of the

parts used to assemble the custom-built motorcycle are new parts purchased

from either a wholesale or retail supplier that have never been used;

(b)Proof of insurance to comply with the provisions of KRS 304.39-080; and

(c)Other information that may be required by the Transportation Cabinet in an

administrative regulation promulgated under KRS Chapter 13A. If the cabinet

fails to promulgate an administrative regulation governing custom-built

motorcycles, the only documentation a person applying for a first certificate of

title for a custom-built motorcycle shall be required to present to the county

clerk is the information required under paragraphs

(a)and

(b)of this

subsection.

(3)The Transportation Cabinet shall not classify a custom-built motorcycle as a salvage

or rebuilt vehicle and shall not subject a custom-built motorcycle to the provisions

of this chapter governing salvage or rebuilt vehicles.
