Getting a plate isn't as easy as just putting on lights..
I used the baka designs kit on mine.. Will do a review when at a computer (on phone)
Brute:
Their kit looks pretty complete. I did my own on a 97 KX500, but back when I did it there was no inspection in Washington State, you just told the licensing place it was legal and they gave a plate and changed the title. That changed January of this year, plus they said all Off Road Bikes that got plated would have their plates pulled until the bike could be inspected under the new rules. I suspect the guy I sold the bike to had his plate pulled. As it had an "off road only" pipe on it, I am sure he would have to make some changes to get it licensed again. The headlight I had was marginal as the lighting coil was only 35 watt. I have seen a couple of others now that are 45 watt, and one that stated it was 120 watt, but I suspect that was incorrect. There just 'ain't that much room under the wheel for one that size me thinks!

Anyone use this? Would I still need a high output stator?

okay.. drunk baja designs kit review..
front light mounting sucks ass.. they have these stupid metal things that hose clamp to the forks... why not use rubber strap clamps like every one else??!!
the bullet connections from them suck butt... had to redo them all in spade... as they all either pulled appart... or caused problems.
the Light (and ignition) switch broke off VERY easy... its currently epoxy'ed on... we shall see how long it lasts..
Battery pack needs a special charger to charge the batt .... a motorcycle/car charger will kill it (need a RC car charger).. as its just 10 AA cells...
now for power..
I have the moose "75watt" stator.. it also SUCKS ASS. wont even charge my current setup. (35watt headlight. and LED tail light).. so it must be rated at 75watt at like 100,000,000 RPM..
Reason I have a MZB ignition TRUE 100watts of lighting sitting on the bench from our savior alward25
what state do you live in? have you looked into the laws that you need to jump through to get a plate? I got one here in california.. so perhapse I can be of some assistance;
