turn signals?
I have tried searching this site and others with not much definitive answers and didn't find any threads on this site.

In DC/VA we don't need turn signals to pass safety inspection, if they are on the bike they must work properly. We can just take them off completely and use hand signals and that is legal.

My question is that gonna pass/be legal in Vegas? I really hope so

I've worked at shops and know a lot of people in the MC community around here so when get a bike inspected we just talk shit for a little while and they hand me a sticker and i put it on the bike and roll out. My triumph never got inspected from 2007 till 2013 when I finally got a ticket for no safety sticker. lol

Nope you NEED them on the bike for a certain year and up. DMV will test them.

I also believe that you need rear reflectors anywhere on the back part of the bike on right and left sides. Buy some reflector tape from an auto store and slap it on the swing arm. Took them off when I got home..

Hmm. Just read this and am now wondering how the hell they'd enforce this one when some Harley's come with 3 headlights all in a row. I'm sure they simply don't enforce it and it's all good, but since the bike comes that way from the manufacturer, you'd think they would rewrite that rule.

RE: turn signals?
I got pulled over and ticketed for no turn signals. Several years ago.

I might be to old to cut the mustard, but I can still lick the jar.

RE: turn signals?
you need them, however mine were never tested. just had to be there. as far as they were concerned, it could have just been dummy signals, but all mine work anyway.

Just wire them back up and deal with it.

Those other two are considered "driving lights". But that doesn't stop a few guys from making them bright as fuck and making the headlight look like reading light.
