(3)
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.
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.
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.
