Florida is real laid back towards bikes in general though as long as you ain't acting a fool. You see folks with no signals and apes all the time. Will they let you on the base with no Turn Signals?
I won't have to pass through a gate to get to my work. My compound will be separate from main post. I want them on there anyway. I want a mirror/turn combo for the front and stop/turn/tail for the back

Not that tall at all, at most it would be 2 inches above shoulders

Thanks guys

Just realized you're from Lake City. My wife is from there. We visit occasionally nice little town. I love Florida.

Ok, Well they are here if you change your mind, not really trying to sell them and they are just taking up space.

Thanks
Turn signals are required, hands can only go as high as your shoulders; sporadic enforcement but it only takes one cop who need to write some tickets to get his supervisor off his azz to make it an expensive day for you.

I know photographs can be deceiving but it would seem you would have to be very short for those bars to be too high.

NY state law is, depends on the year of the bike. If your bike was sold from factory without them ( I think that is 1969 & earlier) they are not required. Weird to think, a state that does not require helmets would require turn signals.

Florida has a pre 1972 exclusion. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/.../0316.222.html same link I already posted once.
