    Default For Hoosiers interested in a Slingshot

    It seems that Indiana won't allow them to be sold, per a dealer, because the top of the steering wheel is more than 18 inches from the top of the seat. Since it's a motorcycle, the "apehanger" rule applies. Somehow, this doesn't make a lot of sense.
    But it may be a salesman pulling my leg.

    Default Sounds like..!!

    a fishy story. Ape hanger rules seemed to have changed at least here in CA. You see them riding here where their butts don't reach the seat their hanging so high. I thought they couldn't be higher than your shoulders...go figure.. guess they will have to run them with outta state plates...

    We will have to see how this one plays out. I am guessing that Polaris did their homework before they put these out for sale.

    As far as I know, they will not be sold in Ontario, Canada either.

    Something to do with not complying with the specs for a motorcycle or a car.

    As per Ontario, you straddle a motorcycle and it must have handlebars and the passenger sits behind the driver, not beside him.
