   without an OBD port and at least two banks of oxygen sensors and a catalytic converter it can never be considered street legal. unless it was made before 1971, which it wasn't, unless you started with a VIN from 1971 or earlier. basically you'd have to use an ancient chassis to start with, and only take it to places where you know the guy for inspections.

   considered trying to build an electric motorcycle. It's not too difficult to build an electric bike, just need to scale up the danger

   Probably get a cheap existing (light) motorbike for the frame, rig up a high-torque electric motor to the chain (would have to be welded to the frame), set up a high density lithium battery bank, then work from there if it actually moves.
   
   
   though both the motor and battery bank would be pretty expensive for a project like this and you'd need to do significantly more planning

   you need a 2 stroke engine to generate the electricity to neutrslize its gayness.
