| Street "Legal" Conversion I'm getting ready to convert an "off road only" XR650R to street legal. I initially thought that I would just get one of the all inclusive kits from Baja Designs or Dakar Sport. I just wasn't sold on the overall looks of either of them and thought things like, "well I like that headlight, and that other tailight, but I like those turn signals..." I finally stumbled across this after a lot of searching: wirediagram DSA Wire Harness with Key Switch It is an all inclusive wiring harness that is made in America with mil spec connectors. You can get it packaged with a variety of options. So now I'm going to match the Acerbis headlight that I like with the Baja Designs LED tailight and a different set of turn signals that I prefer. I'm going to get the wiring harness option with the flasher, horn, and handlbar switch already included and wired in. I'll wire the stator output to a regulator/rectifier, then the reg/rec to a battery, then connect the wiring harness to the battery so that the bike is running completely off of 12V DC. The total cost of the harness, headlight, turn signals, reg/rec, and battery adds up to less than the cost of the Baja Designs kit.

| Re: Street "Legal" Conversion Sounds like a plan. Surely you've seen the Black Mamba headlight from Langston racing, it's my fav. |

| Re: Street "Legal" Conversion I'm actually still trying to decide between the Black Mamba and the Acerbis Cyclops. The Black Mamba is very close to being a direct copy of the Acerbis Diamond that they don't make anymore. I like the asymmetry of the Cyclops and the fact that it is actually DOT certified which could potentially be one less headache. But...the Black Mamba is about $40 less.

| Re: Street "Legal" Conversion Here a couple pics of a DRZ with the Black Mamba. It definitely looks better than the stock set-up but I've heard the light output sucks.

| Re: Street "Legal" Conversion Saves ton of weight on the DRZ also, the stock setup is very heavy and you need to drop the forks to get the whole thing off. |

| Re: Street "Legal" Conversion slick... did you decide what headlight you was going to get? i know we have the black mamba headlights in stock, and they now come with the option of upgrading the headlights to bulbs with more output
