I'm wondering if I have an insurmountable problem with building a reverse trike.
I know bikes aren't subject to smog inspection in CA, but I believe that to register they're inspected for factory emissions equipment, which would explain why all of the aftermarket pipes I've seen say they're not legal in CA.
It's not that big of a deal for a bike because you could just put the stock exhaust back on and switch it back after registration.
I want to use the Morgan 3 Wheeler layout with a transverse V twin up front, so any stock exhaust is incompatible, it would stick out to the side several feet.
Am I screwed?

I think that if you are building a "homebuilt" morgan type trike i doubt that you must use the motorcycle engine manufacturers factory exhaust system. Since you are the manufacturer of the trike, the exhaust can be your own design.

After a lot more research, it looks like I just need to get one of the 500 SB100 Certificates of Sequence for specially constructed vehicles available every year, which lets you declare the vehicle year as 1960/smog exempt.
