I'm not gonna do the headlight now, I think I might do it later on, but for now I'm going to buy a number plate for it, to cover everything up.

Good luck! I am trying to remember who the guy is that posted pics of his a while back. I wish I still had my DR to do that conversion cause it looked sweet!

The steering should be pretty good, my dx turn great with trail pros on it, I'm guessing your bearclaws have like to much grip which makes it hard to turn?

And I also have stock front tire on mine.

That's how I found out about it, it just looked so cool, I really wanted to do it, but then I wrecked my dx and had a good reason to do it

I ran GBC Gators on my DR and didn't have any problems turning.
