Ride your quad on 2 wheels (either pulling the mother of all wheelies or just going on the 2 wheels on the side) if you get pulled over claim its a motorcycle

Cool! You could register it as a hearse and it probably will be!

I doubt there's an exemption to ride quads on the road, would be pretty dicey in any case

Otherwise, yeah, Can Am

Translogic do a good system although pricey, seem some pingel systems used on sidecars which are cheaper and nowhere near as good

Just ride the thing, pretend your a farmer. Just keep out of town.

Maybe have a look at Alan Kempster on U Tube.

My father wanted another bike but at 73 and having had 3 knee and 2 hip replacements he couldn't handle a normal bike any more. Enter 1 Can Am Spyder with the electronic shift. He got a RS-S and we added Rivco floorboards, an extended foot brake lever and a hand brake lever that overrides the normal foot brake.
Means he can operate everything bar the park brake from the bars (he can also use the foot brake) and his feet are now in a more neutral position. Old bugger has had it for a year and loves it to bits.
