I don't know of any and I'm a LEO (of course I only follow the laws of Illinois). I know in Illinois you can not have red or blue on the front and no blue on the rear. Blue dots are illegal too.

Same in Indiana, I have never heard of any real complaints about having red turn signals on the rear of the bike. Some vehicles are manufactured with rear red lenses. Find out from one of your local LEO's or call your local Police Department.

Here is a link for a website that lists what is required on motorcycles for each state.

Hope it helps.

My Jeep came from the factory with only red in the rear. I've heard people wondering about this issue on here, but does that mean there may be a state I can't drive my Jeep in? I would think vehicles would have to be sold 50 state legal. That said, I live in Indiana also and I have the adapter that makes my turn lights part of the brake lights and haven't heard anything yet....

All my cars have red turn signals. I also installed the turn sugnal / brake light thing and installed the red lenses - works great and it can really be seen from behind. Been followed by LEO's in Washington state and never had any problems. I know blue lights are a no no.
