Wow that really looks good.
Thanks for sharing

6-7' from the rear

In most Midwestern states I do not think these are legal if you can see ANY Yellow from the rear if used as running lights.

If they are just directionals then I think its OK

Anyone know for sure??

[bbrown]

Yes the stock front and rear signals still work and the wingtips flash off sequence with the stock turnignals.  When the turnsignals are not on, they are running lights.

If they are yellow and used as running lights and can be seen from behind the bike I do not think they are legal in WI and MN

Anyone know for sure??

Anyone know the answer to this?

I do not know the answer of this.  Some semi trucks or trailers have amber running lights on the rear (aftermarket, not from the factory).  Probably not legal, but don't know if they have ever been stopped.  I doubt if anyone would be stopped just for this.   
I know you asked this several weeks ago and no one answered.
To be honest, I never thought of it being a problem possibly until you mentioned it.  As of now, I won't take them off as I think they are a safety factor.
You may try contacting the manufacturer of these and see what they say.  www.biketronics.com

I also converted from the rear amber turnsignals to the red turnsignals/brake lights and I believe the light bar is too close together so I am not legal there either possibly.

Thanks for your thoughts.  I have contacted Biketronics and they have not responded.  The Wisconsin State Patrol told me they are not legal as solid Amber is not allowed.  I do like the lights and am just finishing installing.  Will let you know if I get stopped.

looking in my handy 2008 commercial truck inspection book......

rear turn - amber or red

backup and license - white

all else in the rear - red [markers, reflectors, id, brake, tail]

[timo482]

oops forgot - side marker - amber.

yes i can put a dot sticker on a bike
yes id put one on a bike set up this way - they are not rear lights - they are side markers. side markers can be visible from the rear & often are.
and yes - trucks and truck tractors and trailers often have side marker / turn signals.

An update on Biketronics, I ordered a set last week and they promised to get them to me by Wednesday or Thursday by the latest. Today I called to see where they were, I got "sorry, we were waiting on some parts but they are in and we are going to ship today and you should have them by Thursday." I said that was not good enough since it was their problem my fairing was still off due to their mistake, ship them overnight so I can install tomorrow. To which they informed me only if you pay for the overnight shipping. I told them to stick them where the sun don't shine.
I really like them but not enough to put up with that kind of service, so my other choice is Eglide Goodies? I think I'll save the 100 bucks.

It was impossible to order this kit directly from Biketronics so I didn't have other option to order from eGlideGoodies....let's see what happen....maybe they learned the lesson

Jorge-I ordered them from Eglidegoodies also.  Got them fine but took about 3 weeks as Biketronics is slow to deliver product.

I believe you can order from Biketronics, you just have to call to place your order (they are mountain time zone).

Thanks mi amigo. It was easier ordering thru the Internet than calling directly to Biketronics.....They told me twice: I will return your call and they never did so I ordered from the Internet.........let's see
