sheerider11 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Good idea, until you get pulled over and you have to show registration and insurance. The cop will know that's not a Yamaha zuma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDiggler69 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Here in Wa state they finally passed a bill that allows the use of ATV's on public roads . There are several limitations but as far as the quad you are required to have a license plate , insurance , and lights mirrors and turn signals . I'm going to get the parts to get my shee street legal so when I want to take a cruise around for some fun , I can ride the shee. Check where you live and see what laws govern it . You may find the proper way to do it so your shee doesn't end up in the impound yard . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have looked into this a bit in Oregon, and here is what I came up with. 3 wheels can be a motorcycle, but 4 wheels is a car. I think there is a clause that states that an ATV can not be made street legal. However, here is the conclusion I came to. If you could convince DMV that you scratch built this "car", grind the vin number off, show a whole bunch of receipts for steel tubing, engine, wheels, etc, then you could possibly register it as a car, just like scratch built street rods. It would need to have a windshield, wiper, seat belt, fenders, turn signals, horn, etc. I really think you could do it and make it look good with fenders that are barely legal. However, if you ask DMV in advance, they're going to say no. If you build it and take it in to register it, there's a chance that they will say, "That's not a car. Get outta here." There have been people in other states that made a swingarm set up for a single rear wheel, registered it as a motorcycle, and then swaped it back to 4 wheels. But, it wouldn't take a very smart cop to figure out that it's not a "motorcycle" anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
