enforcement can be an issue. In VA we have an annual inspection, but the guys are so thrilled just to look at my M3W that all they checked was whether the lights worked. Some states have no inspection at all. Also, like any laws, a vehicle only has to conform to the standards of when it was manufactured.
I have wondered where Pete might get his engines, and donor bikes are certainly an option. Although that usually means a vehicle that has been in an accident. The risk is you get an engine with unknown maintenance and miles. He might also get them from Honda.
Gold wing rear ends are a dime a dozen (like stock HD mufflers) from all the trike conversions.
