I'm planning to have a custom bike built and was wondering if turn signals are required on motorcycles in California? If they are required, is it both the front and back or just one or the other? Thanks for any info.
Both of the above posters and the AMA site are wrong. Turn signals are not required on a motorcycle built and first registered prior to Jan. 1, 1973. Unless your custom is built from a pre-1973 motorcycle turn signals will be required, front and rear:
………………….
CVC 24951…
(b) The following vehicles shall be equipped with a lamp-type turn signal system meeting the requirements of this chapter.
…
(4) Motorcycles manufactured and first registered on or after January 1, 1973
…………………..
