removing only front flashers from the roaster

Dear All,
I would like to remove only the front flashers from my 750 Roaster, while leaving the rear ones
can you advise if I should be concerned on any electrical issue I could encounter?
shall I just unplug the wires? will the rears keep working as before?
Thanks for the suggestions!

You'd need a different flasher, the reduced current load would cause them to not flash as is.

Would it be legal to do so?

I think 1973 was when signals came installed on cycles so those prior are legal w/o them. I've had so many combinations of signal failures on 1st Combat the vendor installed winker but when my 2nd one came w/o them I was glad of it. May be able to replace the front bulb resistance needed by ~ equivalent resister in line to Earth - as may be hard/impossible to find a winker module to function on just half the filament load.

Like LAB say's... I would check the legal situation. I am pretty sure it would be illegal as most laws seem to have an allowance for certain vehicles not having indicators... but that if they are fitted, they must work correctly.

By definition, your bike would have them fitted (visible on the rear)... but the front ones would not be functioning (due to their absence)!

If you're trying to pretty up the front end, check out CNW web site and see how Matt mounts them on the coil bracket under the tank. It looks like they were designed to go there!

You are talking about the USA.
I'm not sure about Italy, but in the UK, direction indicators were not compulsory on motorcycles registered before 1st *August* 1986, however, if fitted, the MOT regulations (although not necessarily traffic law) states that "they must meet the requirements of the inspection" and a "missing indicator" would be a reason for an MOT test failure, therefore I'm not sure how legal it would be to have only two?

*(another UK Gov. document says: "April")

I didn't say anything about the law requiring signals just when cycles like our Commandos came with signals installed, which is same year many US States required them. A call to a few agents in local homeland should give instructions that apply but may need more than one call to resolve conflicting feedback of official law vs how its actually applied or not. On Peel I found out ya can't just stick in a car winker unit that fits and expect it to match the signal loads so trial and error to find one that only needs half the filaments to wink right. Curious to see how rear only winkers solved but glad I don't have to trial error it out myself. I'm a hand signaler or sneaky turn taker even on my modern which has on/off working signals from too many crashes.

Sounds like the same thing to me :? although signals/direction indicators had been optional since 1971.

Ok L.A.B, > optional is same as ordering a color, not same as required by law or being factory issued w/o owner or shop conversion. Appreciate the nit pick corrections though as does concern me sans signals on Trixie and if its a nit pick point a future buyer will use as bargaining point, on top of knowing it was ridden by me which may put off every buyer to just scrap out in the end.
Coolest signals ever to me at a rally on Peel was installing a single non R plug with LED signals that turned them into R or L syncopated rpm timing lights but didn't phase analog boyah sparking 'brain'.

If it turns out you must retain front turn signal lights OldBritts has a very slick setup that I have on my bike.
Very tidy and effective.
