Hey guys has anyone gone through the NJ DMV process of inspecting a salvage bike so it can registered for street use? If so, is the process a pain in the ass? Do you have any tips?

The reason I ask is because Im probably going to be selling my track bike to my cousin. I kinda need the money for other things right now so track days are on hold for a little while.

History of the bike: July of 07, I went down at pocono east and bike was totalled by insurance company. I bought the bike back and fixed a lot of the stuff slowly. I have most of the receipts but obviously some stuff I bought on the forums so I don't have every single receipt.

I've read some stuff about salvage inspections on the NJ DMV website, but they ask for before and after pics, receipts for all the parts, and if the parts were used, you need the vin # of the bike that the parts came from.

It sounds like so much stuff, and then they say once you have all that, make an appointment at a special inspection station and it will take an hour and you can't watch what they do.

If anyone has gone though the process what advice can you give me? If it's too much trouble, I'll have to tell my cousin sorry and sell to someone who will use it as a track/race bike.

Here's a pic of the bike.
