    Well after four months of having an ICV built, im finally on the road, it took  fifteen months to build it,and another 4 months to get it certified, now I have a rego plate to put on it.Took it for a 50km ride this afternoon, runs well and handle great, due to long wheelbase really tracks well in the curves.Im in Brisbane and used a mob called SafetyCert at Clontarf, good guys to deal with one is an engineer that signs of on the certifacation to get an ICV on the road,any one  in brisbane doing something the same or similar I would highly recommend them, the do gold coast and sunny coast as well.

    Nice!

    I wouldn't envy the pain you might have gone through to get that on the road, but if looks are anything to go by, it was worth it!!

    Any Harley parts on that? ;)

    ICVs need to have brake test, noise test along with all other compliancing regs, eg 550 rule, e marked lenses, etc. It took 2 months to get the brake test done , because the guys doing it have to hire a track for half a day to have testing done. They need about four vehicles to do on same day to make it cost effective. Then after testing is done the engineer submits a report to transport on your behalf,then transport takes  8-10 weeks to look at it HA,HA.Then they give you a VIN and approval to register it. Its like waiting for a baby to be Born, LOL.Thats the way it works up here in Brisbane anyway, other states may be differant, I think they dont have as many working in that department since BATMAN (Campbell Newman) put the broom through them..............
