If you have an equalizer for the rear, you shouldn't have any issues. Removed mine this past winter, and they aren't going back on. My hands work just fine. Just always keep in mind that oncoming traffic doesn't know you're turning and ride accordingly.

For anyone wondering about the legality, here is a good link:

Smokey burnouts, you should be fine in VA, no sigs required at all.

I had them off of previous bikes and put them back on. I like the looks of them more, but as previously said, oncoming traffic does , not know where your going especially at night.

Why would you do such a thing? Just curious, cuz it's dangerous enough out there...

Same reason you took off your reflectors.

Here's the link to state requirements:

As long as you're legal in the state you're registered in, you can't be penalized in other states if they have different regulations.

Exactly what was stated here OP since you have the equalizer for the back then you should have no issues. Easy way to find out is to unplug the fronts before you remove them and test. I only have rear turns on my fender struts with a equalizer and they work fine.

Easy enough to get smoked by a cage with them, I sure wouldn't ride without 'em.
Just sayin'...........

Well, my bike would look better crumpled up on the side of the road without those reflectors, you got me there...
