Ok, so everyone knows I bought a trackbike from Zach. Problem is, its a trackbike....... :P So, help me make it street legal by next Sunday. Maybe local shops or internet sites with quick shipping, that can help me out. All ideas and suggestions are appreciated [thumbsup] I was thinking of maybe some round HID's for the front, kinda like the new R1. Will cut holes in front fairing. I also need a mirror, prolly bar end, or maybe pig spotters, just to be legal. Need tail lights, maybe just LED strips? A horn too.... Come on peeps.... bring on the suggestions and comments. Any good local shops in Ft Worth and Arlington? Inet sites? HELP!!!! I don't own a street legal bike anymore..... Squid-like [cheeky]

I recommend the tail light/plate frame combo that avatar d'jour has on his ps [thumbsup]
go get the lights from tractor supply ;D
The First step is simply admitting that YOU NEED HELP !!!

best way is to not ride the bike.
Do you have a motorcycle endorsement on your license?
Do you even have a passport?
Do you know who you are?
Anyway, what do you think of these HIDs

you can obviously go to Lowes and buy some metal and make your own tail bracket....really simple. Moto Liberty and Cycle Gear in Bedford has some good stuff also and if I remember they do have some brackets for the R1.

find anything under $575?
Do you really mean Sunday as in 30 hours from now?
That's way above my paygrade. I'll try and think of something though.
I guess that R6 rides much better for you than the R1.
Ride what fits.

I worry about how good HIDs from other companies are. Halogens are not very expensive relative to HID.

*** just need them to turn on, and I really hate night riding, so will rarely need them
"ride my Hyper"? I just don't swing that way.
Swing low, sweet chariot...

it's ok Dan, I'll still be your friend [thumbsup]
Even if you are an asshole who wont share his toys, its not like I ever wanted to ride your shit anyways..... geez, the nerve of some people.
are blinkers required by law??
ive been told both :-\
I've been told...
if you have blinkers on the bike and they work = street legal
if you have blinkers on and they don't work = not street legal
if you have no blinkers and use hand signals = street legal
I'm checking into this though
If it was built with blinkers. then it must have blinkers.

makes sense [thumbsup]
T, If you let me know what you want. I can help you out. For the LED's google Luxen star and you will find what you are looking for. RichD is coming over in the morning, If you want to drive to Granbury. We can get you set up as far as fabbing stuff up. I also have Beer.
We are going to put a Clear Bra on Gwen's Z and change to oil in Rich's Z. After that I am free until the dinner.
Hmm, are those the LEDs that I need to tuck my turn signals into the vents?

I'l have to talk to RichD about them again ;)
[moto] T I've been looking at this off road site for some HID Driving lights to put on the GS - they've got some decent prices ( compared to Touratech etc. ) maybe you will see something that will work or you, sorry no help with turn signals.
