We don't have inspection in SC,but I still had to have a home inspection by a state rep who is a state trooper.I couldn't find my VIN.The sticker on the frame was half gone and couldn't find the one on the neck.He threatened to impound my bike and gave me 24 hours to find the VIN.Found it.I had to strip and scrape all the paint off the right side of the neck.They do these inspections here because a lot of flood damaged and stolen bikes from LA and MS have turned up after Katrina hit.I'm surprised GA isn't doing it. 

That's why I had so much trouble.  No title and it was missing the federal and epa sticker on the frame, and the previous owner scraped the paint off the engine number so the CHP officer was wary that it was tampered with and had to double check with Suzuki to make sure everything matched and that this was a US bike.

It's usually pretty easy to register bikes here without a title if they're not in the system.  I've previously only done older ones before all the regs came in place and they didn't care about any damn stickers...
