To each their own, but I like the fender look. NO long pony tails!!!OUCH

 

Okay, you may not be pulled over, but what about letting other driver's know that you're turning? And do you really think that they're gonna see your hand at night? Heck, many car drivers out there don't even know what hand signals are and wouldn't recognize what you were doing other than maybe waving at them to go by.

I would be much more worried about the teenage girl hitting me from behind than getting a fix-it ticket.

 

Kansas law-check your state legislatures website for applicable statutes

8-1804. Stop lamps and turn signals. (a) Every motorcycle and motor-driven cycle shall be equipped with at least one (1) stop lamp meeting the requirements of subsection (a) of K.S.A. 8-1721.

8-1721. Stop lamps and signal lamps; color; visibility.

Turn signal lamps may, but need not be, incorporated in other lamps on the vehicle. (c) Every new motor vehicle sold within this state shall be equipped with turn signals meeting the requirements of subsection (b).

 

Yellow, that is pretty interesting stuff. However, how "high" should the signals be? It seems to suggest there is a level requirement, but I'm missing the restrictions. Reason of interest to me is that I have my front signals mounted under my boards on the softail. Perfectly viewable, but I'm curious.

 

I think what the law is stating is that the signals need to be on an equal plane, not one higher or lower than the other. I don't think it's specifying a height requirement.

 

Ah...makes sense. Thanks.

 

This is what I found DocJ-Not finding any requirements on the turnsignals, other then you can have them or don't have to-again this is Kansas law


8-1801. Head lamps. (a) Every motorcycle and every motor-driven cycle shall be equipped with at least (1) head lamp which shall comply with the requirements and limitations of this article.
(b) Every head lamp upon every motorcycle and motor-driven cycle shall be located at a height of not more than fifty-four (54) inches nor less than twenty-four (24) inches to be measured as set forth in subsection (b) of K.S.A. 8-1704.

8-1802. Tail lamps. (a) Every motorcycle and motor-driven cycle shall have at least one (1) tail lamp which shall be located at a height of not more than seventy-two (72) nor less than fifteen (15) inches.
(b) Either a tail lamp or a separate lamp shall be so constructed and placed as to illuminate with a white light the rear registration plate and render it clearly legible from a distance of fifty (50) feet to the rear. Any tail lamp or tail lamps, together with any separate lamp or lamps for illuminating the rear registration plate, shall be so wired as to be lighted whenever the head lamps or auxiliary driving lamps are lighted

 

Veritas is correct-it just has to be at the same height within the requirements I previousle posted 24" to 54" for headlight and 15" to 72" for the taillamp; 72" is tall for a sporty!!LOL

 

Thanks again! I ride through KS all the time. I take that is where you are from?

Lol! 72" is tall for any vehicle! Lol. I can't imagine on a bike. That would be pretty weird. Hmmm...mod possibilities...
