(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.
