Might want to check Kansas law. What I see is that the state requires turn signals on bikes made since 1/1/73.

Kansas doesn't really enforce it all too much and i just think the Harley turn signals are kinda ugly and always have thought a bike with none is alot cleaner looking

Some say it looks better. Some say a hand signal is more obvious to other drivers.

I say keep the turn signals. At times when it's really important to let other drivers know what I'm doing I use both. For example when i'm on a 2 lane highway and want to turn I put on my turn signal and use my hand to signal AND watch others around me. If the guy behind me doesn't seem to be slowing I'm ready to gun it and go strait.
I use my turn signals constantly and wouldn't want to be without them.
