My medical expired som etime ago so I thought I'd get a sport pilot rating.
I took and passed the knowledge test. I've got access to a light sport
plane. I'm looking foor an examiner and also want to know what a reasonable
check ride cost would be.
any info would be appreciated.

If you had a private pilot or recreational certificate to go with that
medical, you don't need a new ticket in order to fly with sport pilot
privileges. Of course you may need a biennial flight review. Hang on a
second; I'll look at my logbook.

Right. Says nothing about transitioning to sport pilot. It's just a
generic BFR.

I did make sure I had a letter from my insurance agent confirming that
she understood that I was flying with sport pilot privileges, and I
talked to the airport owner to make sure he was okay renting to a
sport pilot.
