The Yamaha logo could be put in the space above the seat clear of the bike . An OEM top box for sure.

I will not have the title in hand until he surenders it to me and I have paid for the bike. I'll find out Monday morning if they wil accept the copy or not. If they don't that will throw a real big wrench into the mix.

Thanks for that. :D I have just come back from the border. I tried to give them a copy of the title but that part of customs is closed for the weekend. Their hours are 8:00 am to 3:30 pm Monday to Friday. So this is good to know. For I will not be able to go down any later than a Wednesday...

Thanks Demetri!!! I am thinking! Yeah I know that's dangerous!! :D Anyway. OK I let the U.S. customs know that I will be importing a vehicle. I provide them a copy of the title and owner's contact info. Then give them 72 hours or thereabouts go and pick up the bike and on the way into Canada...

Thanks for the info Demetri!! Actually it's all great info from everyone. It looks like I have found the bike I'll be buying here on the forum. I can't wait. We shall see how it all goes. We are already having a possible problem getting the Recall Clearance letter from Yamaha. But hopefully it...

The recall has something to do with the lock as far as I know. I am not sure if the Title is a State Document or a document given the purchaser from the manufacturer. I am probably all wrong on that one. But I do know that I have to surrender the Title and have to have the Canadian Tire thing...

Thanks guys! All excellent information. Does anyone know where the truck stop is in Washington? It's probably just past the border isn't it! I have just never had to look for one. And who would you be looking for? Sorry for what is probably dumb questions. :D

So may I ask! How did you bring your across the borker?

I was thinking!! Yeah I know! That's a dangerous thing to do. :D But what do you do for insurance if you want to ride the new bike up from where you bought it? If you are lucky enough to have a friend with a pickup or have a trailer that is great. But most likely I'll have my wife drive me...

Thanks for your efforts it is much appreciated. So I take it there are no duties applicable to the sale of a Japanese motorcycle? That's excellent news for sure. How did you check for a clean title? I thought that if the person has the title to the bike it is a clean title, or the lender would...

I am seriously thinking of going south to acquire an '06 to '08 FJR. I checked out the Canadian Customs site and the RIV site. So I know you need a recall clearance letter from the manufacturer regarding recalls for the vehicle in question. Question is, is that a PIA to get? Does it cost money...
