I always assumed they retained the VIN from the VW they were based on. Seems like it would be a lot easier...

Some people do get tags for a beetle title and slap it on an unapproved rail. Seems like a lot get away with it

Cridersville ohio (just south of lima on 75) is very friendly towards inspecting golf carts and whatnot for street use. Call the bmw there and find out what you need. Everyone up this way gets everything inspected there.

Between the street legal sprint car, 4x4 'vette, dune buggys, and golf carts I have a hard time thinking you could not make a SxS legal on the street. But as mentioned maybe it is because of stupid red tape around the off-road title.

DOT windshields and wipers shouldn't be much of a trouble. Reference the sprint car I posted previously. Buying a flat piece of DOT approved glass and a hand operated wiper is no big deal.

You pretty much can make anything legal, it's just the way you go about it, get rid of any numbers on a razor or whatever you want and make sure it meets safety regulations, motorcycles don't have to have windshields nor do buggies, however you can be stopped for not wearing proper eyewear...... bottom line is you pretty much have to say that you made it all yourself, it would help getting rid of anything on it that refers to it as a razor....This has been done here in Ohio.

110 HP for a RZR 1000....that's for Grandmas. This thing is probably around 190 HP and weighs about the same. It's quick.

He originally planned to install a 350 V-8 but couldn't get it to fit without major modifications to the chassis.
