'80 850 bobber style project.

[doctorgonzo]

So, I'm curious. I've been seeing a lot of chopper/bobber projects here that have no signals, no mirrors and no gauges. What is the legality of all that? I thought at least signals and mirrors were legally mandatory. Do you just cross your fingers or what?

Also... I thought they didn't go to shafties until '82? And what is all that bike like with just a single rear disc? That sounds scary as sh!t! -nick

I think the first shafties were 79 or 80, but not sure. Signals aren't required in my state (supposed to hand signal), not sure about mirrors but don't think so, just headlight and taillight.

Here in colorado, signals arnt required. Headlight and tail are and a mirror, i belive on the left side. ive heard of guys using 1 1/2" mirrors just to pass.
