You would have to check your state laws, some require that the rear end contain a differential, which would probably be pretty complicated to do. Here in pa, you can do it without a differential and engine size is not limited, here is a honda 650 bike converted into a trike.

If you want the legal law regarding trikes and making them street legal...ask Legaleagle from 3ww and bluetraxx.com.

Here is a pic of his ride. He gave me all kinds of information about making a trike street legal here in VA. He lives in CA....

Heres the deal . In my area (SanFran) the laws have changed . I think quads are the only ones that can be made legal on the street . There is a loop hole in the law . It has to be a 4 wheel drive and have turnsignals dot tires and a windshield . Then its classified a a four wheel drive and not a quad . No you dont even have to wear a helmet . Laws in different counties may vary . But from what I know Napa (famous for wine) still converts them . Ace
