Default Legally - If I put on turn signal mirrors, can I remove the front turn signals?

I'm looking at the HD turn signal mirrors, and possible the Kuryakyns. I would like to remove the front turn signals alltogeter to clean up the front end.

turn signals on a motorcycle are not a requirement. the requirement is if they are installed they must work. there is no requirement specifically for location. go for it!!!

Why don't you just call your local Dept. of Motor Vehicles and ask?

Laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, even within the same State, so it would be better to check with your local officials when it comes to required equipment and replacement items.

There the same for any bike.. because LED lights have virtually no load, they have to fool the system into thinking there is a regular bulb in the circuit so they will still flash.. Get a cheap one off e-bay.. 20 bucks or less..
