"much discussed subject" is correct ... a Search on this topic will reveal volumes of info ... in general, its not a 'legal' conversion in CA, but some riders still get lucky, and occasionally sneak one by ...

This is not an endorsement (would not want to violate forum policy)

Do a web search for "Joe Racer". (located in San Jose Ca.)

I'll be going there when I find a reasonably priced CRF250X for the Wife.

Hi Ricardo!

I went to my local Honda shop and had the inspection done there.

Of course that was right before they "banned" the conversion in CA.

It was nice, they didn't look to see if the tires were DOT and took my word for it that I had a mirror. I did buy a mirror and showed it to the guy later though. I am not exactly sure if you can still Dual register your bike unless it was originally registered that way?

Somebody else here will know!

Good luck!

it sounds like you folks in CA have it hard... I'm buying mine with all the

Baha DOT tuff on it directly from the dealer, It'll come with a street title.

There are no grandfathered bikes for this deal.
