Want to buy and title in Arkansas

[joelwall]

I am a hunter and getting too old for a 4 wheeler. I want a new ROXOR but want to drive it to the woods. I know there is a kit to make it street legal but want to title and plate it in Arkansas. Does anyone know where to start?

Hopefully someone who has a handle on Arkansas will chime in soon.

It's most likely going to depend on your state's laws regarding the street registration of OHVs. Does Arkansas allow OHVs to be registered for use on the road? Where I live (Utah), we can operate OHVs on the roadways, to include state highways, as long as you plate it as an on-road OHV. Utah requires a state inspection for turn signals, horn, lights, brake lights, etc., to register on-road. Federal highways and interstates are not permitted, although pretty much as long as you stay off the interstate, it's rarely enforced.

Oh, and welcome!
