Ok, to those of you in Mississippi:

I have been doing some research in the last few weeks (after taking a hit for nearly $400 in towing and tickets), to make my quad street legal. I spoke with our local (Jackson County) tax collector Johnny Newell. He was extremely supportive, but sent me to Jackson to Mr. Tommy Lawler who is the Director of Public Safety. His number is: 601-925-7200. He said they have no problem with it, but that the Highway Patrol makes the final determination as to what is street legal and what is needed to be street legal. He sent me to LT Nelson with the highway patrol at 601-987-1249. He spoke of previous attempts to legalize a golf cart on the road, but didn't seem optimistic about the ATVs. He is supposed to contact his supervisor and contact me back on Monday or Tuesday next week. Wish me luck. I haven't quit yet. And if there is a rule against it, well, maybe it can be changed? I ride on a piece of land 2 miles away, and it isn't right to be hit just for that.

 

Welcome to the forums & good luck.......

 

Mine has been legal since the day after I bought it in June. I have ridden it to town several times and several cops have seen me. The insurance was 260 a year and the tag was 129. It goes down every year. All I did was put a mirror on it. (useless, it is a blind spot mirror stuck on the fender) and that was that. It's fun as heck and the IRS on the grizz is not tippy or unstable at all at 65-69 MPH. Later. TW

 

Polaris makes street legal "Quadicycles" look here Strret Legal Quads

 

Oh, and here is the Quick Time video 2005 Quadricycle Action Video

 

Nice idea, but the fine print: "Not available in US or Canada". I believe I am going to start contacting the representatives in MS (State Government) and see if I can get the laws clarified to make things easier. Doesn't hurt to ask, and if enough people in MS write to them, they might actually do something productive. . . I will post the contact info for Mississippi representatives if you want to contact them as well.

 

I ran across this on eBay Click Here. These guys really went all out to make those Rincon's street legal. Turn signals, high beam indicators, emergency flashers, reverse indicator light, etc. It's pretty strange seeing automobile tires on an ATV.

Nice paint job though.

Painted my Suzuki GS with that paint, but I went MAroon/Green. It is really great, and gets lots of looks. Does not photograph, though. No matter what angle or light, it's green in a photo.

 

Does anyone know if you can and if how you can make a ATV street legal in WISCONSIN?
I would really like to do this but when I have asked I never got a straight answer. I was going to buy a sandrail but I want to make my atv street legal cause I have one.

 

If you can;t get a straight answer, make an attempt...

Find the guidelines for making a dirt bike street legal. follow them, then apply. Don;t specify it is a quad, only that it was meant for offroad, and that you added what they required for conversion. See what happens.

This is my plan in Colorado, as tehir wording is vague, and merely states what is needed to convert an offroad vehicle to on road use.... It is meant for dirt bikes, but they chose the wording. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
