Just got the title and registration in the mail for the new (to me) ST3. But I'm puzzled. Does anyone else's registration or title say: HARLEY DAVIDSON Instead of Buell? Did the selling dealer (Harley) screw up the paperwork? This is a PA title and reg BTW if that makes any difference?

Kev, your title and registration should clearly state BUELL on both! WI charges $$$ for changes to Titles, which then changes the Registrations. Bring it to the attention of the dealer. Let them pay for the screw-up. Somewhere along the line the cops are going to think you altered something! |

That's what I figured, but just wanted to be sure before I went back to the dealer with the problem. Looks like original title after MCO was NJ. Anyone from NJ or PA confirm same? |

Sometimes...a State agency responsible for making the database for the licensing and titling of vehicles removes/updates the manufacturers from the data base selections (I have recently experienced this in a database I use) based on the best knowledge of some programmer who is wholly unfamiliar with vehicle manufacturers. This results in the removal of manufacturers like Buell, Indian, Zimmer... |

Hell, PA even seems to get Moto Guzzi right, lol. Guess I could call the state directly and inquire. |

Interestingly enough I just got off the phone with the dealership who pulled the file and said that the original NJ title ALSO said Harley-Davidson. She's going to have the title clerk look into it and get back to me. |

Doesn't seem like it would matter to me, so long as the VIN is right. That's all they ever inspect, and if a question comes up, it *is* a motorcycle made by a division of Harley Davidson. |

I think my S2 is titled as a HD, but my X1 is Buell. I don't think it matters. |

I guess if even the DMV is unsure at times, so would any cop who might pull me over... And yeah, I'll double-check the VIN against the number plate, but I have no reason to suspect it won't match. As long as it matches, you're right, I'm probably fine. |

In Florida, My XB title said "harley davidson", and my Jeep Cherokee said "AMC". Go figure. |

I'm in Texas and My M2 says "Harley Davidson". I always figured that is why they didn't hit me with high insurance rates. |

Here in New Mexico, ALL of my Buells have been titled as BUELL. Even my S2. |

Ah, so it really sounds like it could go either way just based on the particular State or even particular DMV agent processing the paperwork. Oh well, had I known that I wouldn't even have bothered the dealer. I suspect that I'll get a call in a day or two saying not to worry about it...and I won't. Thanks all, Kev |

In my little county in South Dakota, back in '09 or early '10, I went to register my Uly, and the clerk couldn't find 'Buell'" in her database. When I told her it was a division of HD, she said "maybe, but the MSO says "Buell," and went to another clerk. The other clerk showed her how to find (or 'force')it (or 'forced') saying that she recalled registering another Buell. So, at least then, there were 2 Buells registered in Lawrence County.

Dealer title clerk said to bring her title and she'd send it back to get it corrected. |
