You would think that anyone who goes fast around sharp turns in an ATV or any type of vehicle on any type of surface would have been out of the gene pool soon after first getting a drivers license.

The Ontario reg for using ATVs on-road can be seen at http://www.haliburtonatv.com/bill11.html

Don't know if anyone posted Oregon's laws on this but here they are:
http://www.oregon.gov/OPRD/ATV/qa.shtml From what I read if it is 50" wide or more than 800lbs then you can make it street legal.
A Polaris Predator's wheelbase is 50.5 . A Suzuki 450 quadracer wheelbase is 50.6 for a few examples. Hopefully they are talking entire width including wheelbase as the Suzuki is only 49" overall width in it's specs (Might have to widen the fenders?)

When I was in France a few months ago these things were all over the place. I actually met a guy that has a full scale conversion business there and wnats to come to the US. The big problem is that the US government seems to not be a big fan although they aren't as bad as their faster two-wheeled predecessors. ATVs or "Quad Bikes" are more versatile than a motorcyle and when handled properly can be a very effective mode of transportation. I wish there was a place to look for state-wide legislature that will help people to find out where conversions are legal and furthermore what do we need to do to encourage its legality in more states.

Good luck trying to do it now in CA. CARB got in on the action. ATVs don't have the emissions certification for on road use. I believe the rules changed as of 1/1/04, or 1/1/05.

That site is old for the Raptor swing arm kit. There was a guy up in Napa who was doing light kits. Had a 400ex and a utility registered. All they needed was a light kit, horn, and a few other things.
