What are “Special Constructions?
These are custom bikes assembled from a kit or built by a private shop. Special Constructions are generally harder to register and insure than mass-produced bikes or customs assembled by a recognized builder. In most states, Special Constructions must be inspected for safety by a highway authority. If the bike passes inspection, it then can be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Some states also require Special Constructions to pass semi-annual safety tests.
