I have been thinking for the last week since my mate bought a Yamaha YZ250WR (road rego’d YZ250 2 stroke MX bike)

Why not register one and put TRI-Z front and rear end on it??

Would still be registered regardless

Just a thought, What are your opinions??

itd be registered but it wouldnt be legal

itd be like gettin a 4cyl corolla and dropping a 351 in it, itd still be registered but....

i think the major things stopping quads and trikes getting registered in aus is the lack of a differential

hmm 351 in a corolla sounds fun too laughing

but i was thinking it has the frame#, the engine# and the rego plate,blinkers,head and tail lights

what cop will notice it all sounds legit laughing

you can actually legally register a trike in australia for open road use. The trick is you need to start with a VW though so it has a differential, like that irish comedian has.

Damn straight. But all the blockies round here ride the aggies on the road and no one gives a sh1t. But I bet if I rode a sports quad with a helmet and all that one they would give though. Rolls eyes Rolls eyes Rolls eyes

HE is SCOTTISH. and His Name is Billy Connelly...

I have wondered whether a front diff (open but lockable) out of something like a suzi king quad would get around the whole diff problem.
