It has recently been made easier to plate your bikes in Washington. While some may not approve, I'm considering plating my 06' CR250. Anyone done this? I'm not concerned with the actual plating process, more what or who makes street conversion stuff. I've looked at Baja Designs and E-Line but didn't see much for 2-strokes.
Save the it will suck on freeways and such. It's just to cruise to the office which is 5 min away so I don't care about going long distances or running at 60+ mph.
I thought I would try here with a lot of guys revamping their bikes. Just looking to have some fun cruising a 2-stroke on the roads.

I had an '04 ktm 250sx I converted to supermoto, and rode it on the street.
It fucking sucked, the bikes are lights witches, and won't cruise easily at all. Infact, the carbs are not built with cruising in mind. It's either go, or slow down. This made it a nightmare in any sort of light traffic, and the clutch HATED life. Mind you, my bike also made 46whp, and was a BeAST of a supermoto, I quickly made it track only again.
Suzuki made a street legal 2 stroke in the 90's...I think the RMX? That would be your best bet, as the race-bred 250's aren't made for cruising.

The link explains. This is valid as of Jan. 1st 2012
For me the stator with a charging circuit has been the bigest problem. Bought one off feebay and it had no spark. It came with electrosport instructions so I called them and they were great ..... except the stator was a counterfeit and not from them. They even shipped the bad stator back to me at no charge. I am waiting for electrosport to get mor in and I will be ordering one from them.
What tires are those? Anything else you've run into?
Thanks!
The tires are road race rain tires. I buy them used with the more heat cycles the better to harden them up. That rear and a matching front I found from a craigslist post looking for used RR Rain tires ... $50 each and they guy lives just up the street from me.
Pit Row
I would think you'd want to gear it up quite a bit as well.
Good luck on your project buddy!
only one I could find for a cr250

Look what you can get for a 450R

they also do tail light kits
we can get premade DOT brake lines over here, so i presume you can there to, I have known a couple of people get 500's road legal, 18" rims make tyres a lot easier to get if you do not want to go full motard,
I found Trick Dual Sport to be the nicest.
The easiest it to fit is a battery run kit. If you dont plan on night riding its all you will need
When you ride on the road you will be surprised how fast you run out of gears.
He says it is fun, but it is tuned differently than a standard CR.

Electrosport discontinued the Dakar dual sport kits but you can buy them cheap on ebay. I paid $250 for mine while something simular will cost $500+
