You will also need to wire a switch for the headlight to turn between high and low beam. If you try to run a headlight that's more powerful than your stator can pump out, it won't be bright. You can use any headlight you want as long as the voltage matches your stator and it has the high beams. The headlight I bought was a Polisport ( found here) purchased from Anarchy Motorsports (Caleb's company, an RME vendor). I also got this from Steahley (where I got my stator). To prevent your headlight from getting spikes of too much power, you will also need to install a voltage regulator ($5-10) to bleed any extra power to the frame. I'm no electrician, but I believe a stator creates more power when the engine is running faster. Some bikes come with a stator from the factory (any bike with a headlight), and some need to have a stator installed. Headlights (and some tail lights) run off a stator, which is a coil in your engine that generates electricity as the motor spins. On a 2-stroke (and many 4-strokes), headlights do not run off of battery power. Here's some info about how I modified it to be street legal: take your passed safety inspection to the DMV and tell them you'd like to register your bike as a street motorcycl You'll need your registration/title papers to do this. They'll check horn, lights, signals, working brake light, etc. go get a safety inspection from the same guys that do your car safety inspection. Here's the process once you have all the street legal gadgets on: To register it as a street legal motorcycle was something like $125/year. Going off my shady memory, it cost around $60 to register my bike as an OHV. It actually changes the title to a street motorcycle instead of an OHV. It costs a bit more to register your bike as a street legal bike. I've never read it anywhere, but the DMV told me that I needed a working odometer on my bike. However, I believe your brake lights must work when you're braking, even if the motor is off. your front light must work without the bike being on (WRONG). as long as you have a headlight you're good (WRONG) ![]() 2 strokes can't be street legal (WRONG) (WRONG) This is not required on Utah motorcycles. reflectors in the tail light so cars can see it when they approach you (even when it's off) a tail light that is on when running, and brighter with a brake This post is meant to be educational only. This post is not the official DOT standard. Last time I checked, you need the following to register your bike as street legal in Utah. I thought I'd start a separate thread for it, so questions could be posted and answered here. I've done this for three bikes now (2 2T, and 1 4T). I've been getting a lot of questions lately about how I made my last bike street legal.
