Default turn signals

by law, do I need front turn signals?
I have the ones at the back and they work. so will I get hasseled from the cops with just rear turn signals?

Anything obvious that calls the roadworthiness of your bike into question is a reason why police might pull you over.

There is no HTA charge for having no turn signals. There is a HTA charge for not signalling a turn. A vehicle that had turn signals when delivered from the manufacturer must have turn signals to pass a safety.

you're right but a cop can say your bike is unsafe and make you tow it home

Turn signal lamps

At or near the front - 1 amber on each side of the vertical centerline at the same height, and having a minimum horizontal separation distance (centerline of lamps) of 400 mm (16 inches). Minimum edge to edge separation distance between lamp and headlamp is 100 mm (4 inches).

At or near the rear - 1 red or amber on each side of the vertical centerline, at the same height and having a minimum horizontal separation distance (centerline to centerline of lamps) of 230 mm (9 inches). Minimum edge to edge separation distance between lamp and tail or stop lamp is 100 mm (4 inches), when a single stop and tail lamp is installed on the vertical centerline and the turn signal lamps are red.

o well i guess front plastics have to be back on because the rear turn signals dont work without the front.
