Street Legal CRF150R

[Lelandjt]

My friend just called me to say she was walking out of the Frisco, CO DMV with her license plate. We strapped on a UFO headlight/faring, superglued a taillight lens to her fender (the plate is gonna get bolted flat on top of the fender behind it), and put a bicycle horn and mirror on her bars (they are already off). Haha! I love Summit County. If a cop says anything about her lights not working the plan is to say they just stopped and we have to check the wiring. Cops don't really bother getting that serious anyway. They just want to see a plate. Just wanted to tell you guys and pat myself on the back.

That is awesome! maybe i will give it a whirl on my rmz450, these country guys should not care....

When the trailhead is less than 2 miles from your house it sure beats loading up or riding plateless through the middle of town.

Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! might be a little hard cuz I gotta go 2 hours away on the freeway to get to a good riding spot

same in Maine and Vermont when you go snowmobiling.You pop out of a trail and rip down the street to a gas station, then go back to the trails. As long as your registered and not speeding they don't care.

In Maine, They definately care if they see you. Game wardens are kind of dinks up here. But they are relitively few and far between so it is easy to get away with. If you are careful.

Oh wait, that's more Vermont then Maine. They like the money you're spending on tourism.

There's a bit more to a street-legal bike than having a license plate bolted on it.

As you alluded to, it must have working headlight, tailight, brake light, plus turn signals, DOT tires, etc.

The bike isn't legal for the street, as you pointed out. If it is stopped and checked for compliance, it could be impounded. The bike is far from legal, but nice try.

Post from almost 2 yrs. ago.?

Can you even find 19/16 in. D.O.T. tires ?

[socalxr]

I have a set of 19/16 DOT tires.

Depends where you live. To get a plate here you're supposed to have a horn, mirror, and DOT tires (no turn signals). When I was stopped by a cop (he was at a trailhead checking all riders) he only checked for a headlight, tail light, and license plate. Like I said, my friend's plan if asked to turn the lights on is to say they just stopped working and she needs to have the wiring checked. 2 years now and she's never been checked.

[G31m]

My point is only this: merely having a license plate bolted to a bike does NOT make it legal to ride on the street. That's my only point.

Plate or no plate, you obviously know the bike is not legal, from your comments on the lights.

Peace.

I just got a plated street legal frame in the mail yeaterday!!!! ? I can't wait to get another CRF150R and make a dual sport out of it.

[G31m]

I have a street-legal seat and front fender for the CRF150R that I'll sell you cheap!

You don't need that crap don't buy it.

Tires, lights, blinkers, horn, mirrors, and a plate.

[socalxr]

I already have a Street Legal CR/XR130cc, so I know what is and not legal. I also have slicks for it too.

[stanuc]

What is a "street legal" frame?

[socalxr]

A street legal frame is a frame off a bike that has been plated. As long as the vin # on the frame matches the the vin # on the pink slip, then you're good to go. It's the best way to go, because that means someone else went through all the hassle of getting it plated.

Did your friend have to take her bike to be inspected first or did the frisco dmv just do it? Im up in summit also so im wondering how much of a hassle it was to get it plated
