I just look and it helped a little, all i really need to know it if you HAVE to have blinkers or not, and my speedo doesnt work so will that be a problem. Someone told me motorcyclists could use arm turning signal instead or having side blinkers.

Don't think turn signals are "required" on any vehicle in any state. However, I think your restricted to daylight riding only without them.

I have flushmount signals up front and an integrated tail light in back. Always passes TX inspection.  | |

How do you do intergrated in the back? do you just do it with the wires or do you have to have a specific tail light?

Im in the DWF area and they say you need working blinkers, headlight, tail and break light, horn and insurance.

Ahh i see. Well im kinda tossing the idea in my head of doing something really.....different.
I think i might get a race tail fairing, get a roll of LEDs, and make my own brake light and turn signals. It would take some work but it would be cool and very different, i think.

No laws aginst custom lights. They just have to work and have to be visable.
