LOL!  Like you expect anyone to raise their hand.  However, I was speaking more of cagers.  Riders seem to be more likely to know them.

Yeah, I know these! I ususally just point with my left or right hand when I don't feel like using my blinkers ('cause I look cool [SQUID!])! Brake lights mean "slowing," but Savage_Rob is probably right about the cagers not knwoing them (or much else for theat matter, besides how to kill us... Angry )

A .22 rifle with scope and hollow points takes them right off... Roll Eyes  And, if they are the same cheap plastic as Honda lights, they shatter REAL nicely.  Roll Eyes

Here in Nfld., Bike directionals are mandatory, but I've seen more than a few old Hawgs, CB750 Choppers and the like without 'em ... their piss-pot wearin' Riders just using the hand signals ...
Personally, I think Riding a motorcycle is a bit safer if the Bike is equipped with turn-signals ... style wise, those smaller chromed bullets look a heck of a lot better than the OEM "lobster eyes" (well put WD!) ... saw an LS on the net recently that had a set of small rectangular chromed signals with clear lenses ... looked real nice!

I have these DOT approved rectangular ones on the rear.  As soon as I find an appropriate set for the front, they're gone too.

No problem Greg, I carry the square, fork tube mounted sucked in style fronts. Shoot me an e-mail if you want a set.

Way cool!  I haven't seen pics like that in YEARS!  My 14 year old not only knows them, but uses them.  He has a Honda Aero 125 scooter that I let him ride in the rural neighborhood.  It has electronic turn signals, but he uses hand signals to communicate with me (behind him) prior to giving signals.

Good kid.

When I got my drivers license the first time it was required to know the hand signals, and if you did not...you failed.

I removed mine, plugged the holes and moved them to the license plate bracket.

First I bought a pair of these:

from: http://209.15.36.61/swcart/shop.cgi/page=partssuzlightbar.htm

Then I made a C-Bracket out of iron bar to mount them.  (Aluminum was my first try, too fatigable)



Paint it up, bolt it on, snake the wires up nicely (I had to make a 4" extension) and it looks fargin' great.
