Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

where can i find a kit that i can put onto my '76 MR250 so that i can drive it on the road... brake lights, headlights, license plate... i am also looking for a good place to find other misc. parts for this bike... thanks

Check out the baja designs dual sport kit. just google Baja Designs Dual Sport Kit and you should find their website. I believe on their website they have a State Motorcycle Equipment Requirement Sheet that lists by state what equipment is needed on you motorcycle to make it road-legal. To be honest, i believe that it is more trouble than it is worth because you would have to buy or make your own kit, worry about getting a title, and worry about it passing inspection and maybe emissions . I also understand that in some states they make it impossible to get a title for a bike that was not originally intended for the road .

On second thought, it would be cool if you could make it happen, and if you do, give us an update

i just checked and in washington i just need a horn that can be heard 200ft, head and taillights, side mirrors, and a muffler... that is way too easy... the only thing that is going to give me any trouble is the brake lights

You should be able to find a switch that hooks to your rear brake lever near its pivot and then just wire it up to your battery and rear brake light. You can find them on-line at many parts suppliers.
