Topic: Making a bike street legal in California

[stay youth]

hi, So im thinking of picking up another bike. A Yamaha tt500. I believe it has never been registered for street use.I want to put lights on it to convert it for street use. How hard will this be to get it registered in california?

Has anybody else done this?

Thanks
mark

Good luck, rest assured you're not the first to run into that issue in CA.

So after doing some extended research I guess there was a law a few years back that basically prohibits converting dirt bikes to street legal bikes. Really sucks I was about to get a great deal.

Thanks for the tips

The TT500 came out with lights and was registrable in Australia, were they only for the dirt in the States ?

The XT500 was the street version here.  TT500 was off road only.

Yeah, we got both the XT and TT and both were registrable, maybe look for an xt frame.?
