Very clever and it will look so much neater than that other light you had with the bike. Great video

[@bikemancody2752]

Nice. Helped with my XR400 project. 98 XR400R already have it titled and insured as of recently. So thats done.

[@Johnnysshop]

Nice!

I’m currently in the middle of making my 2001 XR250R street legal and I have used your videos as a reference. Specifically this video while wiring my stock taillight to a tusk battery. So far things have worked out really well. Thank you. 👍

[@Johnnysshop]

That is awesome, thank you for watching!

[@MISERSTYLE]

@johnnysshop I've been watching the channel since the days of the 03 yz250f build. Loved and still love the work you do on these motorcycle videos. You do a great job and I get excited every time I see one of your videos one out. Thank you!

[@Johnnysshop]

Thank you, it means a lot! I'm glad to have another bike at the house :)

Xr250r best trail bikes going can't kill then just wish they had an e start kickstand just ripped off mine the other day and need rear shock bearings cuz I'm hard on her but ive own mine for 5 years no rebuild they are built proof

[@walterconn5637]

Thanks for these videos. I'm using this playlist as a guide. I just bought an xr250. My first priority is making it street legal. The trail light looks good. I might look for an LED bulb for my trail light. I guess that you decided not to use the brake light from the kit?

[@Johnnysshop]

Yeah, I didn't like the way it was going to hang off the back. I'm kinda picky :)

[@kyleclosen622]

Where did you run that red wire to??

[@WrenchingWithMatt]

I am having an issue on mine the front brake light work but the running and when I push the rear brake pedal the light does not come on

[@evileye47]
