The advantage is i can convert the title any time, and then take as long as i want to add lights, etc. or risk not having a horn, since I’m unlikely to be pulled over for missing that.

Some states will not allow off road vehicle titles to be modified ...i think. At least they don’t make it easy. In fact, up until 1990(?), Ohio didn’t even issue titles with off road vehicles. So
For older bikes, you have to apply for a title, then pay to have it re-issues as on road. Thanks government!

Adding lights, etc can be easy, but not simple. I talked about making my old XR100 street legal. Bought a Vader instead...

I understand I just wanted to add the lights & blinkers for safety reasons when I ride at night but kinda also wanted to get it plated.
