Hey, anyone from Arizona (Maricopa County) have information on making their quad street legal? I know that I would need to install a horn and mirror but does it need to be registered and run through emissions? Do I need a motorcycle license? If anyone has successfully gone through the process let me know how you did it. Thanks in advance.

My 2000 DS is street legal in AZ.
Here's what you'll need to make it happen.
Horn, Mirror, Brake Light, Headlight, Proof of Insurance. Mine was registered with the DMV off the dealer MSO.
You'll need to produce whatever paperwork (title , etc.) you currently have.
You'll get a modified motorcycle tag and a new title.
The DMV is mostly interested in making sure you own the vehicle and the VIN matches the title.
When mine was inspected, it didn't have the mirror or horn and it had the sand tires on it!
No motorcycle license is required to operate it. Considered exempt in AZ.
Emissions was exempt (when new) but will be required like other vehicles every 3-5 years.

Az, DMV is telling me that I need a windshield &amp; wiper. Did you have to do the same? That to me sounds like a crock.

up here in my area, if your on a gravel road (which most roads near my house are) you just need to go under 80kph (speed limit), have a helmet on, and also have a license plate, insurance, title, and legal drivers license and you'll have no problem with the police, i'm don't think you can go on paved roads though

jma i went to one chp for form 886 and said that they dont have them and never did and to go to the dmv. when to another and they said here ya go. im gonna stay away from them as much as i can because i dont think all of them u talk to know the real law on it. all i know is that there are 3 wheel motorcycles out on the road and whats adding one more wheel. ive got an apointment set up in 2 weeks at dmv to see if it passes. it doesnt look bad either, ill put up some pics of it tonight

Mine is street legal in Tucson. All tou need is a horn brake light, mirror, ins, and a plate light. It was really east to do. But be worned you will bet stopped by every cop that sees you. It takes forever to go someware!!! They can also get you for non d.o.t. approved tires if they want to. some golf cart tire are approved still looking for some good ones. As far as a winshield and wiper go put on youe gogles and carry a squegy.... good luck.
