[QUOTE="Steve St.Laurent, post: 1208555, member: 66902"] Well, at least here in Michigan a lot of that isn't true. We don't need turn signals to be legal here. Only one mirror is required and they don't have any requirements as to how big, etc. 2 strokes can definitely be made street legal. A lot depends on how you want to use your bike as to how much it will cost, etc. I made my CR250 2 stroke street legal here for short runs up roads between trails (less than 2 miles) and being able to run from a campground to the trail head (again a couple of miles) and to be legal to run in enduros. It cost me a grand total of $200 to make it street legal. I have the advantage of having a tig welder here at home so I was able to do it the way I did it cheaper than someone having to pay some to do some fabricating but you could do it close to the same way using off the shelf components. Here is the thread I posted on here about my conversion - [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?t=143608[/url] . I use a rechargable 10 pack AA battery pack to power my lights and horn. I only have about 45 minutes of headlight use so it wouldn't work as a daily driver but for my use works perfectly. The taillight/brake light was real easy, just bought a taillight/fender package from Baja Designs and a replacement banjo bolt that has a built in switch for the rear brake. I also didn't put DOT tires on it and lucked out that the cop doing the inspection didn't check. I did see where someone here recently got warned by the DNR about not having DOT tires so that problem may come up but thus far hasn't - it was just a warning too. It all depends on the laws in your state. I looked around on Maine's SOS site and couldn't find anything on there. It was pretty easy to find on the Michigan SOS site. Here is a link to the form I had to use here in Michigan - [url]http://www.michigan.gov/documents/TR-54_38480_7.pdf[/url] . What you want to do is call in and ask about a home built bike. Get the requirements for that and you should be able to fulfill all those and get it inspected and tagged. [/QUOTE]
