350X or Tri-Z for street use

[hawaiirider]

im in oregon, was in alaska.
i talked to dmv im repeating what they told me.

[hawaiirider]

just trying to help!!!!!
ive been through these hurdles, i have a street trike!

But yet what you said is completely 100% untrue for many states. I'm on my 3rd street legal and not one was a street legal title to start.

Theres a lot of people in louisiana that say you cant do it as well but after my research you CAN,, just cant be a single cylinder quad :-) (guess i should have one of my 450's converted LOL)

[hawaiirider]

thats crazy, i had no idea. well at least i can ride mine across all 50 legally, they re-title it as the year built if you do a dmv conversion same exact as the harley trikes.

[fabiodriven]

Yeah anyone can ride across all 50 once registered I would assume.

[DohcBikes]

I don't know about other states (see how I did that) but if my trike is legal in Arizona where I live, then its legal anywhere I travel to, so 50 state legal as far as I'm concerned.

Actually if I rode my Z down to california or arizona they can write me tickets because mine doesn't coincide with their rules and regulations I believe in Arizona I needed street tires and turn signals, and as far as I read in California all ohv vehicles are illegal on the street

I wonder how that works exactly though. Take for instance, in Indiana they don't run front license plates on cars. In Illinois front license plates are required. But if you are from Indiana and driving to Illinois, you don't need a front plate in Illinois even though they require them.

[DohcBikes]

Definitely no on turn signals in AZ. Also, no cops here have EVER mentioned tires. If you're running on the street, you should probably run street tires anyway.

ATVs and side by sides roll down the street all day with off road tires. Its widely accepted here. The trikes however are still rare to spot.

[DohcBikes]

Furthermore, once any vehicle is legally titled and registered for the road, its no longer an ohv.

[muthey]

interesting as when I was reading arizona ohv street licensing laws it said they were required to have dot approved street tires and I might have been wrong about the blinkers but I remembered something about them in there, I was checking on it as my inlaws live by bullhead city arizona

[DohcBikes]

Every state requires d.o.t. tires. If you have a STREET trike, I suggest you get some.

I don't run em, ill deal with it if it becomes an issue.

[hawaiirider]

hmmm... all i know is if you try riding that trike here through oregon your not going to make it! same with north and south carolina, it has to have a street title as a conversion certified by d.m.v -. im off the subject, have fun with your trike i just dont want to see other people hassled by police!

Good information here. It is my opinion that an ATC, made street legal in AZ does make it legal in other states. Just like Helmet laws its up to the state to decide.

However a M/C made into a trike like Fabiodriven's BEAST, would be more likely to be considered street legal. This is due to the dual sport design and manufacturer of the machine is primary on road use. Just my opinion.

From the website:

"An Arizona "MC" plate is registration and is accepted for off-highway operation in California. A vehicle with an Arizona "MC" plate may or may not be street legal in California. In order to be street legal, a vehicle must be designed and tested by the manufacturer for highway use consistent with federal regulations (e.g., legally equipped dual-sport motorcycle)."

Furthermore, once any vehicle is legally titled and registered for the road, its no longer an ohv.

As for what trike I would make street legal it would be the 350x. I have already owned two street legal 350x's here in AZ. I currently have my PK ATC70 street legal.
