I have to find out who the distributor was that the original buyer got it from, and that distributor will be able to issue a proper MCO. He did say there is a chance that it could be a "gray market" bike, and in that case I would be S.O.L.

Does anybody know of a Lifan distributor in Ohio that sells bikes on ebay?

Or does anyone have any "creative" ideas on how I could get a tag on this thing?

Thanks for all the help,

Well finding out that the bike is indeed a genuine American Lifan has to be a good feeling. Problem is you now know that does nothing as far as getting help. Hopefully you can find the original seller and get some help from them.
