Oh I didn't realize you guys have to get your bikes inspected

RE: motocross fender and supermotard fender
 

yea the mechanic said that my rear signals were not legal. but passed it anyway... nice guy...:D

RE: motocross fender and supermotard fender
 

It's not DOT approved because they prob. didn't submit it for approval. Bottom line is that if the letters DOT are not molded into the lens, it's not DOT approved.

Sorry Wes for hijacking your thread. I'll post some pictures of my fender mod to get it back on track.

RE: motocross fender and supermotard fender
 

Here's a picture of mine with the same fenders in black, and re-using the stock tailight and a homemade license plate mount. I did cut the subframe some but not as much as you, this setup will do me for now until it gets warmer out and I can work on it more without freezing my but off.

Ok, here's mine. I didn't cut the subframe off like Vurtles and Markturbo did. Just can't bring myself to cut it yet.

I used sheetmetal to make a plate to mount the stock light on and bent the plate down to make a place to mount the tag. I don't think the pictures show it, but I used two small. metal brackets to brace the sheetmetal where the bend takes place. I used rivets to hold the brackets/braces.

The tag lights are 14V, 1W panel indicator lights from the electronics junk drawer. They're held on with just a tie-wrap right now. I'm still deciding on how I'm going to mount them.

Since we're sharing, here's mine - no subframe cutting, mounts made with aluminum U- and L-brackets I made. License plate light is a white LED:

All this will soon be replaced by that cool Baja Designs tail light. The only think left will be to figure out something for the turn signals.

RE: motocross fender and supermotard fender
 

These are the turn signals I bought for my bike. They mount on the side of the baja designs license bracket. My wife went out of town for the week and took the camera, so I can't take anymore pictures until she gets back. The LED taillight looks pretty sweet at night. It gives off a blue-white light all the way around the lens and the main LEDs are red.

Here is the Texas DOT rules for inspection. I believe our bike falls under the motor-driven cycle (250cc or less) and has less requirements than I listed here. Here is the link to the same guidelines an inspector uses when he looks at your vehicles. It mentions emmissions in it too.
