I guess I should know this, but alas I don't... Are the front turn signals required by law?

Yes,

According to the AMA's website.

It's usually pretty up to date, but I'd see if you can find your DMV's site.

You could always just strap flashlights with amber bulbs to your head. :wonderlan

Making them blink could get tricky though! :tour

:) Actually I was thinking of doing something like the LED strips that wrap around the fork legs. Or rapidly blink either eye wearing fluorescent contacts.... It doesn't mention what actually qualifies as a turn signal, does it? :D

Per 24951 of the CVC turn signals are required on all motorcycles registered on or before 01/01/73. But I have talked to a few CHP and they say it's one of those violations that will use if you give them a reason like running your mouth. It's like anything else but usually not bothered with as alot of older bikes are not running them. I don't have any turn signals on my bike as it didn't come with them. The wiring is in there but that is why I have a left and right wing.
