SUPERMOTO!!! Its done!
-
Alright guys, the 426 is finally done, well lights are being wired this week, and than plated. Here are pics. Its pretty sick. I had her out o n the streets for a short while right when i got her done.
More people need to pick some of these up!! they are so flickable compared to a sportbike, and damn, they are just plain fun!
For lights, I am using small 2.5 in driving lights mounted on the handle bars, and than going with a UFO LED tail light/brake light. Than i am going to be getting a trail tech Vapor for my speedo.
also, KYLE YOU BETTER POST PICS OF THE WR250X YOU JUST PICKED UP!!

Looks good!
I never got a chance to talk with cory today. We have been so busy with the motorcycle show we had this weekend its been crazy. Not sure if you have seen the KTM 950supermoto or the 690Supetmoto-R.
On a different note,
What are you going to do for a kickstand?
Do you run a motorcycle license plate now since it is street legal or just a regular sticker?
What size rear tire are you using? -
I should do that to my bike so i can actually use it. Is yours completely street legal??
-
i have seen the ktms, and to me they arent true sm bikes.... But thats just me. Also it isnt plated yet, as the lights wont be done til wed or thursday. And for a kick stand, i built one to get it through inspection, and than im just gonna pull it off, i will lean her against poles. Or i will get the Trail tech SM kick stand.
The rims are 17 in excels laced to rad hubs, and the tires are metzeler sportec m-1s. the rear is a 150 i believe. I will get the exact numbers later.
Also, the conversion isnt cheap... its 1500 for wheels, tires, hubs, spokes, brakes, front brake line, footpeg sliders, and hand guards.

How do you go about getting one made street legal and what are the costs? Is there any cc requirements or anything?
-
no cc requirements, here is what you need
headlight
tail light/brake light
one mirror
speedo/odometer
DOT Tires(cant have ones that say off road use only or not for highway use) needs to have the dot number
and if you have hi and low beams you need a high beem indicatorthan after you have all that, go get her inspected by the highway patrol.

Completly different setup than how the average supermoto is set up. Their really nice though, they have the power/speed for the streets, and you can still throw them around like you can a supermoto.

also, here are pics of the tail light. I used a 6 in oval LED trailer light i got from work. sorry the one is crappy, it dark and i wanted to mount it and test the brightness. also i was just using a 9v bat to test it.
Here is the light i used
How i mounted it(sorry for the bad night time pic)
Tail Light on
Brake light on
let me know what you guys think. Also the nice thing is, it is a DOT approved light so i cant get any shit for it.

only reason i did those for headlights, they were cheaper than 80 bucks for a universal number plate setup, and this way i dont need to switch plates when i wanna race.headlight plates are ugly(unless its the factory WR one from 07 up. but thats about 300 bux) and they cant fit numbers easily.
Besides the supermoto conversion.... the legal part is being done on the cheap.
-
still pricey, and i dont like there look. they are ok, but not a fan of them. Just due to the fact they dont flow with the fender well and usually leave a pretty good gap.
the most expensive things on the conversion are the kick stand and wr426 stator and flywheel... here is a rundown...
Moose Regulator - $14
Driving lights - $15
Trailer LED - $25
Wiring misc - $5
Bell Bike Mirror - $6
Horn - free
12V cooling fan - $17
Digital Bike Speedo - $6
Trail Tech Kick stand - $100
WR426 Stator and Flywheel - $200
