What States Can One Register/Inspect/Drive an 818R without WIndshield / Wipers?

New York state is fine too... according to the NY DMV

"If your vehicle does not have a windshield, you must keep the windshield sticker in the vehicle"

I am pretty sure they are referring to a motorcycle above. If you get the package required to register a home built vehicle you will find:

12-a. (a) Every motor vehicle, except a motorcycle, when driven or operated upon a public highway, road or street shall be equipped with a front windshield in a fixed and more or less upright position constructed of safety glass as defined in subdivision fourteen of this section and required by subdivisions eleven and twelve hereof. No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sign or other nontransparent material other than a certificate or paper required to be displayed by law upon the front windshield or the sidewings or side windows on either side forward of or adjacent to the operator's seat.

Wipers are also required but I did not see a size requirement in my quick search. However, it does state that all windshields and side windows must be made of safety glass. Bumpers (lack of on the 818 and other FFR cars) will also be an issue in NYS.

There is a lot of good information here: http://www.bipac.net/page.asp?conten...olbox&g=SEMAGA
