How do you put a mechanic's lien on a motorcycle?

Answer 1

You don't.

A Mechanic's Lien is a legal instrument that can be used by a contractor, business or person who has made improvements to real property. For example, a company installs windows in a house and the homeowner who contracted the service does not pay the bill, the contractor can then file a Mechanic's Lien against the property where the windows were installed by recording the lien in the land recorder's office in the county where the property is located.

That is actually not true. A mechanics lien is a lien that can be put on any type of vehicle due to an unpaid bill for the services that you receive. For instance, if you take your vehicle to a shop and then fail to pay them, they can put a mechanics lien on it until the balance and services are paid for in full. That is why it is called a "mechanics" lien. If you are not a licensed mechanic, you cannot put a mechanics lien on anything. However, you can go to your local county courthouse to file a standard lien.

Answer 2

You typically go to the court having jurisdiction over the property, fill out the form for "mechanic's lien", including the value and location of the property you have not been paid for, maybe have it notarized, and file it with a small fee. In some cases you may be required to certify that you have already asked for payment and that fifteen days have elapsed since that demand, or the like.
