@1killerseabee Yes thats how I do it, only the next one will not bolt to the heads, I have plans for a big block also.

Do you have the prototype done? When will we see more Video?, any automatics on the horizon?

[milesmac00]

@westgl2006 Apart for the last time, making final adjustments and prepping for paint, hope to have more videos in a couple months.  Most trikes will have autos in the future, planning on powerglides.

@milesmac00 t is now tiled as the year it is assembled, no smog requirements that I am aware of, make sure your insurance knows its an assembled vehicle.

@milesmac00 I used the front end from a motorcycle that had a title, the title vin matched the vin on the headstock, I used the headstock to build the trike frame. ( you could use the vin from the engine if you have a title to match). Then you apply to the state for an assembled vehicle vin, which is affixed to the frame.

@westgl2006 In Nebraska there are two ways to title a Motorcycle ( 2 or 3 wheels ). 1) A homemade motorcycle, requires an MSO (manufacturers statement of origin ) for the engine and a MSO for the frame, I cannot find a car engine supplier that will provide an MSO. 2) An assembled vehicle, requires the use of an existing title that has a vin number matching a component used on the vehicle, this is what I did.

How do you go about Registering a V8 Trike for the road? what are the problems, What does the DMV Go By? Engine Year? and/or Block Numbers? Do they require Chassis Numbers? What about Smog Requirements?

Since it is an all new trike/Vehicle does it go by 2011 Smog and reg. requirements
