Removing front sigs?

I took mine off after I had a short somewhere in the wiring. No issues in the Philippines as anything goes as people only care for whos in front, not whats behind and at traffic lights, doesnt matter if you want to turn left, the cars will speed up if they think you want to turn. I will keep my rear turn signals for now.

I actaully have the same thing, theres a short in the running light wire to my front left blinker. I seem to have the wire in the perfect spot at the moment cause I have had no issues the last week or so. I still just would like to run no front sigs tho. Wife not to fond of the removal tho she thinks its much more dangerous I tend to disagree I think its dangerous either way with the numbskulls out there.

If you want to pose it, do whatever. If you want to ride it, work around the lights,reflectors,fenders,guards,exhaust(for others)...However do what ever floats your boat but if you do, no whining about someone popping, fining, loss of appendages or killing you.

Fine can't really happen here in MN don't need sigs, however the safety thing is my only thought. Was really just curious how many ppl around the forum run without them and what ppl's thoughts were. I keep going back and forth on it.

I don't run any signals at all. Hand signs and situational awareness are sufficient. To each their own.

Custom Dynamics makes some wraparound the front fork LED lights. I have them on mine and my buddies can't see the signals till I turn them on. Very discreet and cleans up the front end nicely.
