    Street legal quad ?'s

    What do you need to make a quad street legal? I know I need DOT tires, turn signals, mirrors, and a brake light/license plate holder. Does anyone know of anything else that would be necessary for a Banshee to become street legal in VA? thanks

    Most likely the rear axle will have to have a differential also.

    Howdy's got it, but laws vary from state to state, check your state laws.

    Yeah, It would need a horn, and speedometer, but I'm almost positive that you dont need a differential. All the pics I've seen, they have the stock axle on it. Thanks

    All the three wheelers I have seen with licence plates, the owner started ith a stree legal motorcycle title and fudged a little. I went to the Washington State Patrol a few years back and got the inspection requirements, was going to try to license my 185s as a minibike (like the old big tired honda 70s). I could meet all the requirements except for a differential. In the state of washington, you cannot run a solid rear axle on the roads legally.

    I guess I will have to go down to the DMV and check out the rules sometime. I think some of the older Honda cars also run the 4/110 lug pattern so I could pick up some 16" rims or so ( 8) How'd ya like to see those on a quad) lmao

    Here in AZ you don't really have to have everything they say, you just fill out a questionair, they ask you if you have DOT tires, turn signals, horn but they never check

    It depends on the state that you are in. I have seen a few street legal quads around here so there must be a way, all I have to do is find that way. I would think it would be similar to those Kit Cars which tell you how to build one from scratch. :? Also, ATCnut made a good point too.
