I like the signals but is having them inside the headlight street legal?

What I have always said on legality and motorcycles. legality all depends on the officer and what type of day they are having. And If you are riding like an idiot or not plays a factor on legality.

Once got a $110 ticket for not putting my feet down at a stop sign...Apparently I didn't come to a complete stop before turning right... all depends on the officer.

I believe in safety over legality. these are brighter and more visible to oncoming traffic at an intersection.

yeah handle bars are not stock. Dont know what type they are but I would compare them to a dirt bike bar. more aggressive stance for sure.
Headlight turn signal came from ebay a few years back. cant seem to find the company's name. but defiantly had to make it a custom fit! Had to make a headlight ring out of aluminum sheet to make it work.
Grips are lizard skins from a mountain bike shop. amazing grip and love how they dissipate the vibration.
To each there own.

After further digging i found the company. They are called "Chromed Hog" There is an ebay store

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/7-Headlight-w-34-Wh ite-LED-lighting-Harley-Touring-/290410588163

since the buell headlight bucket does not fit a 7'' headlight...Need to make a aluminum headlight ring to get it in.
They have the LED in white or amber.

Sweet. That's goin' on my wish list : D. I've heard that the blast h/l bucket uses a standard 7" headlight... Could someone not just use it with the factory mounting ears and this light?

I don't think I've ever seen green lizard skin before but it sounds interesting though.
