Street legal in Idaho
If you are wanting to park it for a while you will need an ignition switch. I got mine from Baja designs it was part number 12-8001
https://www.bajadesigns.com/NET/P-128001/Switch%2c+Key+Switch+Kit-dsk
For Idaho all I need is a brake light, mirror, and horn.
The 2005 WR450 has a two filament tail light so all you need is a brake light switch for the foot control. Baja Designs sells a kit (part number 14-9000)

I also wanted foot pegs in case a buddy needed a lift. I found them at Baja designs part number 21-0078. There was no picture, but they look like the footpegs for the XR450

Key ignition
Rumor has it that the key ignition from a TTR125 part number 5HP-82510-00-00 will work on the WR450
I found one at the link below
Baja Designs will sell kit replacement parts (order the key kill switch and brake light and horn separately
call Baja designs at 760-560-2252 to see if the will sell the parts of their dual sport kit for the wr450.
Key Kill switch (replace your kill switch with the Keyed switch below)

While the previous speakers have certainly been elegant I do not find myself persuaded. Some have argued that asking the faculty to express their voice is insulting to the task forces. I was told that the task forces are composed of respected and distinguished members of ISU's faculty. This description bring to mind several attributes that I would expect from such a faculty member. I believe a distinguished member of our faculty is one who would think outside the box, and express their ideas for the purpose of deliberation. While having a conviction for their ideas I would not expect such a faculty member to be obstinate. Rather I would expect them to be open to other ideas and to have the confidence for those ideas to be judged on their own merits without any insinuations of dire consequences nor attempts to dissuade with emotional arguments. Such tactics only admit an inability to find innovative solutions.
I believe the days of an electorate composed of land owners and share croppers are gone. I have the confidence that our constituency is composed of educated, informed , and critical thinking faculty.
I put it to my fellow senators, would it not be arrogant of us to believe that we can represent the voice of the faculty if we not take the time to hear that voice.
