If I recall correctly, one of the members on this forum "Stephen" bought a Roadsmith kit and installed it himself - including painting, and had a very sstisfactory outcome. I understand that Roadsmith will sell the kits to individuals for DIY installation and is extremely liberal with telephone help.

I bought mine directly from Roadsmith this past spring, painted to match my Wing. Had a local friend who's an MC mechanic install it and am VERY satisfied with the result. The folks at Roadsmith were GREAT to work with and offered very responsive service when we had questions during installation. Would definitely go this was again....by the by, I highly recommend the extra 5 gallon fuel tank, really gives the scoot some legs!
You might also want to check with your insurance company. Due to liability issues some companies are starting to be sticklers about having a dealer do it and not self installed.
Well in Conn. for sure you are not going to build a trike out of spare VW parts. You better invest in a few Crash Dummies too :Trike1:
We had issues with Dune buggies and kit cars. Conn rules say you can only build one composit motorcycle in your lifetime and sell it. After that you must become a manufacturer. I have seen people from other states build a trike with a wooden frame, or attach it to car front end, that will not fly in the New England states. I would like to see comments from others on here on what you can build in your State and register.
Salvage title is also real hard. An auto body shop told me when my wife totaled her 04 Acura , don't even bother trying to save it. They check every nut bolt , measurement, receipt , could take months.
