It's late and I'm brain dead,  help me out,  I need a cool tag name,  MX or dirt bike related.
Might just go with the one I've got.

Danger4u2:
It already has an off-road title and she said no inspection.  This is the Tax Commission not a tag agent.  Tag agents call the Tax Commission when they have questions.  You have to have a Vin. inspection when you have an out of state title and want to change to an Oklahoma title.  I had to do that Monday when I titled the CR500R that I bought in Texas.  Some Oklahoma laws are real lax  .We didn't become a state until 1907.  I take that back we do have the strongest anti-meth laws in the nation. 

Danger4u2:
Right away I knew the mighty K5 needed the wheels balanced.  So I built a static wheel balancer shortly after I got my K5 in late '04.  The rear rim lock weights 4 ounces, add another ounce for the valve stem..  I use spoke and stick on weights.  It makes a big difference.  I've been told a person does not need to balance dirt bike wheels because the ground is uneven and you can't tell the difference.  I just agree with them knowing in my mind they are wrong.  Put a dirt bike with unbalanced wheels on a stand and rev the engine up in 3 gear and see what happens.  Then do it with balanced wheels.  Unbalanced rotating mass equals vibration.  They can try to argue with physics but they won't get far.

Danger4u2:
Just like the lady said, I brought in my receipts for the dual-sport conversion with my title.  Showed them the install instruction book for the dual-sport kit and that sealed the deal.  They asked about speedo and odometer and I pointed out it's called the computer in the kit.  She said I would have to go make copies if I wanted to keep my original receipts, at the same time we both looked at the clock and it was getting late.  Said she would make copies for me.  Came back about 5 minutes later with the paper work, went to the pay window gave them my insurance card w/ $93.50.  I walked with a new tag and the registration.  Where the reg. used to say MX now it says MC.  I'll get the new title Wed. in the mail.  The build process begins tomorrow.

That is awesome!!!!  and I sold my KX500 and got a KLR!!!   Man I would have loved to make the mighty 5 street worthy.  My only issue is I would want to be able to fill it at the pump, so the mixing became the factor.  I sure miss the power though!
