Title: build a street leagal quad?
Post by: 450rcrazy on November 12, 2006, 08:23:39 PM
would it be leagal to take a 1000cc street bike and turn it into a quad and register and ride it on the street? I have seen many goldwings turned into trikes riding around why not into quads?

As long as it meets safety requirements, needs blinkers, horn, speedometer im pretty sure.

What would be the point? I could see trying to tag my YFZ or Rhino so I could legaly ride to the 7 Eleven but why turn a street bike into a quad.

only so it would be street leagal.take a messed up street bike use the necessities speedo turnsignals oh and the vin# tag rest was not needed to complete the project and put it on a 450r or ltz 400 .if you started out with a 600 street bike maybe even use the engine.

Pretty sure it has to be a trike in florida. 4-wheeled vehicles with saddle-type seats are not allowed. Could probably make a rhino street legal though. :O

a rhino is as long as a GEO METRO so what gives. Its just another way for the man to stick it to you.....

you could probaby make a rhino street legal with just turn signals, d.o.t. approved tires, and such but an atv would be hard

i used to actually see a guy who had 2 quads that were street legal down in hollywood, they were beautiful, widened and lenghtened to meet regulations, along with all the lighting and what not, i mean, you can do it with a dirt bike(super moto bikes) so why not quads? it has been done

The law states you can't ride any 4 wheel vehicle that YOU HAVE TO STRADDLE THE SEAT on the street. That leaves out all quads, but Rhinos are a different story.

If these can be street legal at 25mph, Why can't you put street tires, blinkers and lights on a quad or rhino type vehicle and do it. I would almost say you could if you get the sherrifs department to inspect it.
