Okay, not sure where this subject could go, so I chose general.
I did a power search today regarding this subject. Only found information regarding electrical issues.
Aside from electrical issues, what would one need to do to go street legal.
The required myths in my mind are:
DOT approved caliper
DOT approved rotor
DOT approved tires
Turn signals
Brake/Tail lamp
headlamp
Horn
It is also my understanding that the forks are different. Different by being stiffer and (guess) mount for caliper. I know the Supermoto caliper is larger, but is this required?
I ask because I am supposed to go to Europe, and I am bringing the beast. I would like to use it as an alternative to my rental. The commute there is only a few miles, and bicycles are for chumps :evil:
I'm also thinking of having the street setup separate from the dirt, so I can still ride the sand with Cheesehead. This would mean two tire/rim comboes, but would it also mean 2 fork/brake combos? If I remember correctly, it's roughly $1000 to convert to street, is this close?
Any thoughts?
