Breaking the law in Indiana is the best way. Have any of you managed a plate for one of these? Yesterday they told me that the bmv has decided none are doable anymore..A or B and that they won't be issuing plates

The hayseeds at BMV are clueless about these laws. I've been going back and forth with these bumpkins for two months.
I believe illegal is easier and recommend it.
I've had these same suspicions too. From their reg site:

"Overall, scooter, and moped registration will mimic motorcycle registration."
Lovely.

They won't plate a whizzer...doesn't appear inbred to them so they just won't.
So I go over to their site: http://bit.ly/2auxvsG ..which sez you need proof of ownership, bill of sale, bla, bla bla. But what if you found the engine in a scrap yard...with NOTHING on it ?? I'd like to be a good citizen in full compliance with state and local laws, but this is a bit of dilemma. I gotta lawn mower engine thats bigger than the bike one, and it don't have to be licensed or registered.

Could someone please help me out with obtaining a class b plate in Indiana. I have a 49cc engine kit mounted to a mountain bike that is registered in my name. I went into the local BMV and got the run around. They gave me the affirmation of ownership paper, a physical inspection of a vehicle form to be completed by a police officer, and an application for special vehicle identification number form to mail in. They said that I had to get an MVIN. Can't I just use the bicycle serial number? The engine has no stamping whatsoever.

The bike is the vehicle ...so use it’s serial number. Good luck
