I recommend playing around on photoshop for a while and make an official document.
These border crossing are a complete joke and some guy on a power trip whose only english is "original document" makes the whole process even worse. That and paying to spray insecticide all over your bike.
It may be worth paying the touts an extra few bucks to ease the process.
A friend of mine could not get his bike "out" of Nicaragua as he lost his paperwork. He had to use photoshop to make new doc's.

And it was the border officials fault that your friend was an inept dork , how ?
It is attitudes like yours that makes it so much harder for others, you do not need to pay touts or bribe anyone. Just get the documents and attitude correct (and not loose them).
If you don't like the insecticide, then don't ride through any insects. Have you ever been into California ? They stop and check for fruit between states. Now *THAT* is a joke.
