    Cool First ride

    It was cold out but i couldn't resist, had to take the WR supermoto for it's first street ride I still have alot to do to it and i'm not at all happy with the dualsport kit i got for it, but it sure felt good to ride it. I still need the oversized front brake kit but it stopped very well with the stock rotor so i'm in no hurry for that Also still waiting for my supermoto wheels to come in so i just put the ones on off my YZ.
    I have some rejetting to do as there is a pretty good stumble down low, other than that the power is smooth and impressive.

    Speaking of hacks, isn't that your old rig in the background?

    Yes squid, it is street legal

    ChR1s, i bought the E-line kit. Was kinda talked into it buy the dealer, saying it was the best on the market I'm not keeping it tho, i just don't like the quality and it hits the stock YZ exhaust i put on I'm going to go with theDakar-Electrex kit. The rubber mounted headlight assembly is crap, it vibrates and shakes all over the place. The Dakar-electrex kit is solid mounted

    AS for the dualsport kit i got, they'll take it back but there is a 25% restocking fee So, i'm going use the wire harness and the control center and make a few changes to the other parts. I'm going to use the stock WR headlight and plastic surround and modify the light so it has a high and low beam. I'll add some short stalk signals to the mounting brackets that hold the stock headlight unit on and that should keep things pretty simple up front. The rear i'm a bit undecided on yet weather i should use the stock WR rear fender and tail light and convert it to work as a brakelight as well, add a plate holder, plate light, and signals to the underside of the light? Or just use the YZ rear fender and get another bolt on (underside) tail light unit and add some short stalk signals?. The problem with the tail light that came with the kit is i can't use the exhaust i want because the tail pipe hits the signals, plus it's when they mounted the thing to the fender they didn't center it and it's not straight.
