Man these things are awesome, I wish I had the time and money to build me one of these. I'd make it road legal if I could. Try to title it as a dual sport or some shit.

Roland Sands built a prototype a few years ago converting 450cc dirtbikes into entry level road bikes. Now he builds and sells them to the public. Here's the article from a couple of years ago: http://www.motorcycle.com/products/450-super-single-project-68605.html And here's the bike that is available to the public: http://www.rolandsands.com/bikes.html This message was edited 1 time.

I can see a lot of those things going BOOM and it is not cheap to fix them when they do.
