is this going to be street legal at all? I didn't think tards used tubes either but I haven't done a lot of research into it... I've mainly just figured I'd rather get an already built conversion cause they're relatively cheap

supermotojunkie constantly has conversions on it. Not all are street legal. Most of the crf's were a lil more expensive since they were more modded but typically you can save yourself a bit of money by buying it already converted

You can get tubeless wheels but unless you do some home brew alterations basicaly all spoked wheels use tubes.

and i was soo pumped about the CRF i did a quick garage "re-design

so here is the old layout.... i have 4 shelf units that are stackable but i only stacked one to make one large shelf and to half shelfs. then the rest is pretty easy to understand.


so i combined the two half shelfs so i had two double stacked shelfs and moved them to where i kept the trash cans and moved the trash cans out side and there you have it, its ready for the CRF.!

Fvck the garage - I'm jealous of his MS Paint skills!

The pics aren't working for me...

But AFAIK, you can title roadkill and drive it around legally in Arizona. There are a few companies out there that sell "street-legal" kits for dirtbikes/motards so you can title them for street-use. Unfortunately, for us in CA, the DMV revoked all of those types of titles.

What are you using for a lighting system? And brake lights?

Are you using a 5" rear wheel? I can't believe the new Aprilia SXV's are runing a 180 rear tire.

A 180 is overkill. SXV owners will enjoy the slower steering.
