As for swedish trike frames. Ther is a guy on ebay that sells a do it yourself manual on a swedish set up. Under the name Bad Ass Trikes. I got the book but lack the machining experience to do it and cant quite make myself pay 1500.00 for a pre-made black pipe frame.

You should try to get it titled as a motorcycle,its about a hundred bucks a yr to insure.had one as reconstructed back in 87,cost about as much to insure a Vette to a 21 yr old.2500 a yr.Dont know how it was titled as a motorcycle but it says 76 Honda on mine,only thing "Honda" is the front end.got lucky on this one. GOOD LUCK,Knowing a good friend as a notary couldn't hurt.I would try affixing the VIN to the gooseneck of the front end,thats where mine is,Bought it that way in Ohio and registered and insured,inspected here in PA> Check out all the by laws as far as inspection,like fenders needed?,exhaust baffles,tires out past the fenders,etc...etc.
