They can't see you and you can't see them. Terrific.They're gonna think your wavin'.
Nobody knows hand signals anymore except for us old folks and us bikers. Everyone else forgets them as soon as they get out of Driver (special) Ed.

No turn signals and no rear view mirrors. In every state you could be pulled over for not having proper equipment, and don't be surprised if it's a MC cop that gets you.
If the OEM parts are not to your liking, consider aftermarket suppliers of low profile lights and mirrors. There are many out there these days.
Think of getting your bike back to legal status with operating turn signals and mirrors, but more customized and personalized then stock. Or is this to much of a challenge for you?
What ever you do, don't let looking cool to your friends get you killed. It's just not worth it.

You will be noticed without mirrors and will be pulled over. As for the turn signals, bikes these days have the signals flush mounted, incorporated in the mirrors, on saddle bags. A cop won't be paying attention whether you have signals or not. Your bike will not pass your states inspection with either of these items removed. If you get pulled over for something else, the cop can pile on some more tickets.

You can plan on gertting pulled over , put the reflectors back on and get some small turn signals and put a mirror on .
Most police dont want to write fix it tickets for silly bs , I never use the signals and have a very modified exhaust they leave me a lone and I live on a federal park in Sf .

I used to know people who did this.
Their bikes looked terrific. Course. they are no longer with us.
No mirrors or blinkers huh? I guess you should rip off the reflectors as well?

Don't care what these wackos say, you do NOT have to have turn signals to ride or for inspection. My 55 Panhead hasn't ever had 'em & it passes inspection every time. You do, however need at least one rear view mirror to pass inspection.

you can use your arms for turn signals as you no but i would put them back cause if ya did get pulled over they might find something else. no need to give them a reason cause they will take it
