Idaho BS thread in the PNW

so i think im going to abandon my 35s for now (till next year) and see if i can again pursue my plan of turning a yz450 street legal

 

What do you have to do for that??

 

basicially buy an entire enduro light kit, rewind or replace the stator and wire the bitch up

it will probably cost about the same as 35s. but I just think it will be a lot of fun to play with.

biggest thing I dont know jack about is the stator and how to power it all. it looks like this kit comes with everything I need, but on a bike that is not powered to run lights (a kick start mx bike) im a bit confused on it.


a already set up wr (enduro bike) would be much easier, but I still want the bike to trail ride. and the mx bike is far better for that. plus the 450 will pull a wheelie all day long in third, so with street tires that will be a fast fucking rocket up to about 45-50 where I dont want to rap it out.

and im HOPING since its just a dirt bike insurance wont be too much vs say a R6

 

Still a bike. Insurance will be a lot. But not as much as an R6 im sure.

But i still don't see the point?? like..why are you wanting to? seems a waste of money.

 

ya. like an R6 will do 150 all day long

this thing will get to 80 then if ran there for long enough explode





and what do I want to do? Ride it around. It will be my DD instead of my truck. It will just be a much more fun way to get around

like the fun factor of being able to ride my bike every day vs having 35s is exponentially higher on the side of the bike

 

ahh okay. Won't that suck in the winter?

 

yes, yes it will. I wont ride it in the winter.

will have the truck.
but I have the next little while to work on it, ride it till like november haha, then drive the truck, then Ill have alternate transportation for next summer as well

 

eh..doesnt seem worth it.

but whatever.

I know i bought my honda thinking id drive it around town for a DD..didn't only liked to cruise around on it. Not run errands.

But you just have to wire a light to it?

 

my 450 will be a bit more fun than the bike you had haha

not quite, i have to power the lights. run ALL the lights, get it titled and get new tires

 

how would a 450 be more fun then a 550 honda road bike? haha i did enjoy it. Was fun. Jess did too. She wants a bike. Apparently so does her mother..haha

so you need like an alternator and battery basically?

 

Ya basicially.

 

Might save him some money in the long run since the dirt bike will get better mileage than the Taco. Just depends on what it will cost him to get it street legal and how much he drives.

 

My local Cal Ranch

 

My bike (97 Suzuki Intruder vs800 turned into a rat rod) is paying for itself since it gets 50+ mpg compared to my Yota at 14mpg hwy! lol It helps save up for those other things wanted down the road for sure!

 

Maybe, depending on what maintence runs me. Those 450 race bikes are high strung machines, but if I keep rpms low it should so just fine.

If I get it legal this fall, the hit from legalizing it will be gone and it will just be more of an ease on gas by the time spring rolls around and I'm filling the up vs the taco.

Then. 35s

Brady, once I get 35s I'm trying two headed dragon at least, and meat grinder haha. Wanna come!

 

Only thing is if I'm going somewhere of actual distance I have to allow more time since I can't hit the highway. It will be the mentality of a ruckus or a scooter, but with the accl of a street bike

 

oh i thought you guys raced in 4HI ahaha

 

I'm down!!! haha I don't know what those trails are though...




So this is a pic of the street I went down last night when I said I wished I had a snorkel... That is Cory (he has a pretty badass Jeep) floating the raft. haha

 

The Ford dealership is on the completely other end of town. I live about halfway between both and our driveway was so flooded we weren't sure if Candice's car was going to make it through it when she got home yesterday. haha That end of town in the pic is near the underpass that flooded though, that side of town got it worse. But pretty much the whole town flooded out. They had streets closed all over the place.

 

God ur slow haha
