I've been to most of the XR sites and they don't seem to have too much recent activity and you guys always seem to have the answers.:clapping: So I was wondering if anyone on here has any idea where a guy could purchase a street legal frame for a Xr650r. Just bought a really clean '01 and would like to plate it but in Iowa it really isn't doable anymore.:bang head:
 
Yes the the xl and the xrl were factory street legal and a lot of the xrr have been converted in the past. Unfortunately the DMV is making it harder to get a plate on a converted dirt bike. In Iowa right now if it doesn't have an Federal Safety Label on it you can't get the inspector to pass it, so a conversion is out of the question. About the only way to get a plate is to find one already plated or a frame that was previously plated.
 
Thanks for the link. I have been there and didn't find anything, not even a classified section. I will register and post looking for a frame. Thanks again.
 
Had a friend who did the frame swap on his 650 a few years ago. It took him several months to finally track down a street legal frame and about $700 dollars. Then he had the hassles from Fla DMV to get it registered because there was no speedo on the frame. He got it done but it was a pain. Good luck in ur search! Wish I could help more.
 
There's a frame on eBay in N.C. Seller is: erin51695
Says it's titled but does not state street legal. Asking $750
 
Thanks for the input guys. I have a brother in law in SD looking into plating it over there for me right now. The only real issue that I can see so far is that I don't have a title and the only title I can get from Iowa is offroad only. Figured if I start there then it will never be considered street legal. I will look into the frame on Ebay also.
 
Found the frame on Ebay. It is for a xr650l and factory street legal. As a last resort I would consider buying one and just using it to put a plate on the xr650r. But will try to exhaust most other legalish options first. Thanks again.
