2012 Yamaha WR450F Street Legal Conversion - Is it the ultimate dual sport under $5,000?? - Tusk Kit

For entertainment purposes. Don't do what I do.
I finally finished the street legal conversion on my 2012 Yamaha WR450F. I used the Tusk kit from Rocky Mountain MX/ATV. I think it's a great kit but there are some intricacies to getting it just right. I wouldn't bother with the mirrors that come with it unless you don't care about seeing behind you. I wanted better ones for the street and I like be bale to see newer riders I'm teaching behind me on the trail without having to turn my whole body. I did this conversion in Nevada and it's a fairly simple process. Make sure to get a "street" insurance policy as the off road policy is different than on road. I needed 2 mirrors (some states only require one) and I needed another brake light switch as the Tusk kit only comes with one for the rear brake. They are the same part, but you need one for the front.
I personally think this is the best setup you can get for under $5000. Not to toot my own horn but it looks like it came street legal from the factory.
Don't forget a key kit from Sicass Racing!

I have a 2013 with the dual sport kit. These 2012-2015 WR450’s are great reliable bikes.

Great video, I too have a 2012 WR450 and I just got it street legal last week. I just got the license plate mounted today. I did most of the same things that you did, but did wire up the lights a little differently. I connected the positive wire for the tusk harness to the relay in front of the battery that turns on the lights after the bike is started. I like it because I don't have to have another switch on my handlebars and it doesn't turn the lights on until the bike is started, so it doesn't drain the battery. I also bought a switch from sicass racing that combines the start and kill switch into one switch, so that I could get rid of one more switch.

Hey thank you for the comment and I will definitely look into this as I don't love having another switch on the bars like you said. Thanks and if you see a video on it, you're the inspiration. Ride safe brother!

You inspired me to tap into the headlight relay for the DOT lights and I'm loving it. Just dropped a video showing others how.

Can you drop a link where you bought the ignition key? I have the same bike🤘
