Until they quit building 3 wheelers you could add the lights and get a 3 wheeler registered as a motorcycle nation wide, but that stopped in the late 80's when 3 wheelers went out of production. If you owned one at that time and it was registered as a motorcycle you can still get it registered as a motorcycle in most states. The laws were just like motorcycle laws (must have motor cycle license, turn signals, brake light, and the lights must be on at all times). I only know 1 person who has one registered like this and he has ridden it across the country 3 times. It's been in every state except Hawaii and Alaska at least once.

Here in Indiana you can still get ATV, ATC, and dirt bikes registered for use on COUNTY ROADS with no extra equip. It cost $6 for 3 years the DNR sends you a registration card that you must have at all times while riding on roads and you have to put the # from the card on your quad in 3" tall #'s. Then you just need insurance and a VALID drivers license.
