Title: Daddy, you need to accesorize!
Post by steelwolf on 06/07/06 at 19:04:36

That's what my little girl told me. So that's what I did. I bought these to replace the stock rear signals. Since signals are not required in my state, I can mount the red lenses with no recorse. They are duel element so I guess I will hook 'em up to run with the tail light too.

Old school Harley bullet style marker lights.

If you look in the last pic of my "heap" thread, you can see how thse look installed. Had them on the bike from 2000-2005, would have gone the same route, but the kid wanted something different.

In CO, you have to have amber ones, unless you don't have any at all. Unless it grandfathered, or unless it's a "street rod," or "home built," which my savage qualifies as. Something to the effect of "a motorcylce is home built if it was manufactured after 1977(?) and is not readily identifiable as being manufactued by a major company." or something to that effect. "Street rods" are basically the same thing, but built before 1977. colorado revised statutes, 252 or so.

That I find interesting. Turn signals aren't even required in SC by what the AMA says.

South Carolina Motorcycle laws (http://home.ama-cycle.org/amaccess/laws/result.asp?state=SC)

How do the cages get by with the red signals?

North Carolina General Statute

sec. 20-125.1 Directional signals.
(a) It shall be unlawful for the owner of any motor vehicle of a changed model or series designation indicating that it was manufactured or assembled after July 1, 1953, to register such vehicle or cause it to be registered in this State, or to obtain, or cause to be obtained in this State registration plates therefor, unless such vehicle is equipped with a mechanical or electrical signal device by which the operator of the vehicle may indicate to the operator of another vehicle, approaching from either the front or rear and within a distance of 200 feet, his intention to turn from a direct line.
