Turn signals, mirrors, tail light, headlight, brake light and DOT tires. That's all I can think of right now.

In Florida if the title says off-road, you cannot make it street legal. There are folks that go to other states get it titled differently and then resell them here in Florida.  There was a street legal Banshee down here in Pembroke Pines with a tag running around. There are some folks that get big dirt bike frames titled for the street and some folks make some sick motards.

the dmv told me i could if i had the title. my problem is i have a XR that was never titled by the original owner. he chose not to apply for it so id have to track him down to do it.

and in florida, turn signals arent required. you can use hand signals. that was according to a site i found that covered all states and their requirements in 2007. i have not seen a 08 update but im sure its still the same.

what do you think they would do if i had the "Certificate of Origin For A Vehicle" and all the reciets when the bike was purchased?

I don't remember if the CO has that info on it. About a year ago I wanted to turn a CRF450 into a motard. A friend of mine built a chopper in his garage and made an appointment with an inspector from DHSMV this was in Dade County. I went along and asked the lady several questions regarding the motard. She flat out told me in Florida I would not be able to do it. She was also well aware of the way some people get around it, getting titles for frames from other states that allow you to make the conversion. It was just too much trouble. If I was still lookling into the motard thing I would probably get a KTM or a DRZ.

if youre the original owner than you ca apply for a title for it and then do it that way or see if theyll give you a street title for it if it passes inspection.
