Hello, currently I ride an XR650L, and like to restore old bikes. I also moderate on another bike site, so I'll cause no trouble!

I love my L, but want something lighter and faster in the desert. I found several KX500's In my area, and am going to buy one soon. Possibly this weekend.

I also plan to plate the bike here(if it's still possible). Can someone point me in the right direction to finding stator output, turn signal setup, etc. for street use?

Thanks all,

Rich Hardcastle

Welcome to the site, after wrestling that xr around, you will love the power and light weight of a KX500. I believe the KX500 is rated about 220 lbs. I know that 650 has some power, but just wait until you WOT the 500.
  You can add a lighting coil , just use the search function and there should be more than enough information. Several guys on here have converted thier KX500 to street legal and will probably help you out.
  There is a banjo bolt with a brake light switch built in, that simply bolts on, easy update for brake lights.

Great thanks for the info. Look forward to getting and modding another ride!

I see a section for engine mods, but is there a section for other mods? Mods already done, or are they just mixed in with everything else?

Johnniespeed:
At the top of the page under the heading is a search tab. Click that and type in your search word.  ie "street legal" "lighting coil" "turn signals"  that should work.
 If not just post here again.
John
