Is it at all possible to make a 50 street legal, so the cops dont mess with me as much??If so, how do U do it???

 

ok this discussion has been had before....ok...if the cops don't like you don't make your bike street legal.......riding off road vehicle$$
wheeling down the road...reckless driving$$$$

 

i think fab fiddy put a lite kit on his,not sure what he did new 5o's dont have a lighting coil another reason i ride with an old xl 70 motor comes withone
imnot sure where you are what the laws are
but here all you have to do is get a green sheet when you get it inspected
and your in, to get that it has to pass inspection, here ft brk light switch rear brake light switch, brk light tail light ,head light with high and low beam,dot tires and a horn, we used to do em when we rode an enduro that required it.insurance of course oppps forgot mirrors

 

rickystator.com will have a light kit for u. as far as being street legal... fat chance. maybe if u live in the sticks.

The XR50 has become a fanatical passion among many adults, and kids alike. Want to be able to ride it on the street? In addition to following your DMV's rules and regulations, a Baja Designs kit will help you make the XR50 street legal.

The concept behind the Baja Designs Quick Release Dual Sport Kit is fairly simple: create a street-legal bolt-on kit which is self-contained and can be removed with ease. Instead of mounting the components permanently on your bike, they are tucked away inconspicuously behind the headlight. The rear fender already contains the flush mount turn signals, a taillight, all wiring, and a license plate drop-down. Upon removal, the only item that will remain on the bike is the Mid-Harness, which is permantly routed out of the way. (Flush-mount rear turn signals are standard. DOT rear turn signals can be substited at no extra cost)


Prices Starting at - $499.95

 

It sounds like it's more trouble than it's worth,thanx for the info!!

 

actually i have put alot of kits on the bigger bikes and they are pretty straight foward and simple but kinda expensive

 

Over here in New Zealand, the laws are all good. All we need to do is register the fiddy as an moped, (under 50cc),at a cost of about $70NZD per year, You dont need lights or indicators because you do not need a warrent of fitness to comply with a Vin exempt vehicle.
Cops are still kinda confussed about the law, but as long as you wear a helmet and do hand signals when you come across a cop there is no problem.
We ride in Auckland city every weekend from trail to trail, no need for trailers or utes, I guess we are lucky over here. :YEAH
