Acerbis DHH Headlight work?
Will this work on the KDX? Is it something that can help take me toward the path of making my KDX dual sport (possibly street legal)?

They WILL work but....
You will need a high output lighting coil on your bike.

First... check you state laws. I have a headlight and brakelight setup on mine and other than having the lights on while not running and a horn... I'd be legal in my state.
Do a search on "headlight wiring" and you should come across how I did it with the stock components and a LED tailight setup from Baja Designs. I also have pics of it in the Gallery.
If you have any more questions... just ask and I will try to help you out with them...
Oh... BTW... Welcome to the site Mike!

Welcome!
BajaDesigns sells a complete Dual Sport Kit for the KDX as well. Might be an option if you want a plug and play setup.

I'm all for saving money. Take a look at the instructions for the Baja Designs kit and it will give you a pretty good rundown on what you need and how to set it up. I posted a link a while ago for some pretty low cost parts for doing a dual sport conversion. I'll see if I can dig it up and post it back in this thread for you.

Personally... I'd keep those knobbies on the KDX and get a KLX to dual sport.

Gotta agree with Inda on that:
If you want a true dirtbike that you can take on paved roads between trailheads, then go the minimum route and mod the KDX. But if you are planning trips from the house garage to go on a dirt trail ride, then get a bike that is already dual sported. I found a KLX650 that was street legal for under $2000. There were a few years that the KLX was offered as a street version. The DRZ also comes in a DS version as well.

KDX is NOT a good road bike at all. for a few reasons, first off, Two Stroke, this means you must pre mix your gas, and all the other hassel that comes with a Two Stroke ( Not that i do not enjoy it) but face it, its not worth it. Road riding will shave a nice chunck off time off your engine life simply because your gonna have to be flying along reving the hell out of the bike so your not holding up traffic or being a nusance (Slows bikes=bad for everyone) And if your gunna ride slow on the road...then dont ride on the road...its a waste of time and effort. The KDX is an OFF ROAD BIKE (as says Kawasaki) and a DIRTBIKE.
I presume that your are actually going to ride this Dual sport bike, not just to the corner store and back or to a trail and home. I would hope, puttng the Bike on the Road would be for the reason of having the option of cruisin around on two wheels, or cillin out with the wind in your hair (metaphoricially, you do need a helmet) So if you wanna road ride, get a KLX. Cheaper on fuel by far, just as capable as a KDX, and will save u lots of neeless hassel you will be fac3ed with on Road ready KDX.
PS: That Headllight will work VERY well, a pal of mine has it on his KLX and it is a awsome feature.
