    Cog Is it possible to convert a farm bike into a road legal bike?

    If so, what would be required and how much would it cost to do?

    If not, why not?

    Of course it's possible.

    Cost? Well it depends.

    Do you have lights? Do you have indicators? Do you have mirrors? How about a speedo?

    You'll need those at a minimum. And then there's the wiring loom, a new alternator to drive the electrics, relays, fuses...

    and then there's the VINning of the bike - that's about $400.

    You must really love that bike...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Basicly whats been said above, except you will need to get the brakes compliance tested before it can be vinned

    Well to my understanding that is.
