all good advice for dealing with the bureaucracy.
I think most customs simply retain the original bikes registration; thats what
I would do.
Each state is different, though.

I would say you have an excellent chance but you will likely need lots
of persistence. I find that when dealing with paperwork issues it is
easiest to give the answers they want to hear. For instance, when asked
how many CCs say 400, if they question that answer say that your
electric motor is equivalent to a 400cc motorcycle engine.
When I took the skills test for my motorcycle license on my EM they
asked me the cc question which determines parameters for some of the
different obstacles. I answered 250cc, since that is what the bike
started out as, and they went straight to the next step without
question. I only offered one piece of voluntary information. Since you
get a heavy deduction for stalling, I pointed out that my motorcycle was
incapable of stalling. I mentioned that if you don't hear any sound
from the motor it is because you are not supposed to.
