It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I mean, I know people who have put lights and a plate on dirt bikes and legally rode them. It's been done before, hell here is an Amazon kit. I think That the issue is more so non legacy manufacturers not being recognized.

Michigan and Indiana are pretty lax on what you can register. As long as it has a frame number & docs from mfr, you can register it. In Indiana less than 5hp doesn't even require insurance or a motorcycle endorsement.
