Ok. here I go with another project.  I'm going to dual-sport my 04' KX 500.  I think this will be a fun project and a blast to ride.  I ordered all the stuff today but most of it has to be made and then shipped.  Not the kind of stuff they have on the shelf.

I'm going with this speedo.

And this dual sport kit.

And this coil.

I am in the process of accumulating enough parts to do a restoration/dual sport conversion, so those links were helpful for me, especially the speedo one, that things looks sweet. One question i have is, the dual sport kit costs 519 bucks, but doesnt include a mirror?!?!?!?!?  What kind of crap is that?  :-o

You might want to consider the ICO Dualsport VRL. It is a very durable, backlit odometer. I use their Check Mate enduro computers on my KX 250. They make some tough stuff! All their products can be sent back for repair also. Fast turn around. Ive been using ICO products since 86. I still have my original ICO odo and it still works! ICO Racing.com

Danger4u2:
Yes, I will have to come up with mirrors.  I went with the parts listed because the speedo is plug and play with the Dakar set up.  It also has temp. sending unit and blinker indicators so you don't unknowingly drive around with the blinker on.  If you see someone going slow in the fast lane with their left blinker on the tag will say Iowa, 9 out of ten times.  Sorry if you are from Iowa.  I think the equipment I am buying for this project is pricy.  I have done allot of research and found cheaper items,  but I feel you get what you pay for.  Only time will tell if I bought the correct products.   I like the fact that the ICO unit has a batt. backup.  The plug and play feature on the wire harness is hard to turn away from.   As quick as they get my parts together and UPS knocks on the door, I will post up pictures.

Danger, is it a legal requirement to have mirrors were you live?

I didn't need them for my supermoto in the UK and even if I did fit any I doubt I would be able to see anything in them anyway.

Tell us how you get on with the Eline coil.

regards Scott.
