You will, most likely get the General Manager John Lee.
He will answer all your questions.
You should know, if you're interested in that front end-you can only have it if you put the trike conversion on also.
According to John, when I asked, the front by itself did not work out as expected! That's all the info I got:Shrug:

But why would I trike a trike

The question is, with 4 wheels, would it be licensed as a car?

A Florida LEO told me if it has 4 wheels you only need a car license to ride it.I failed to ask about registration after converting to 4 wheels.I wander???

I believe some States don't allow them on the road. They may have taken care of this by now.....:Biker:

No you were not led astray. In Florida Statute 316.003 (22) Defines motorcycle as any motor vehicle having a seat or a saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than 3 wheels in contact with the ground, but excluding a tractor or a moped.

316.003 (21) Motor Vehicle any self propelled vehicle not operated on rails or guideway, but not including any bicycle, motorized scooter, electric personal assistive mobility device, or moped.

So if it has 4 wheels in contact with the ground it is a motor vehicle. A normal drivers lic. should be good. The real issue becomes putting a tag on it. The FDOT will probably put a car tag on it, because it is no longer a motorcycle, nor a slow vehicle. Then as a car, things that will be necessary at the very least: parking brake, brakes on all wheels and seatbelts, from what I could read, plus all the other normal stuff, lights, mirrors, horn etc. I'm not a FDOT LEO but that's the least that I found in our statutes. Now I have seen one down here and it had a motorcycle tag on the trike and a trailer tag on the side car. Now that maybe the easy way of doing it, but then you would need the MC endorcement because of riding a trike. Florida does have a 3 wheel restriction to it's MC endorcement which is not that difficult to get. You still have to take the safety course.
