like having signals means they'll use them?

It's not a texas requirement for motorcylces to be equiped with signals because left hand signals are very visable.

Not signalling is still against the law.

not really sure who told yall that you dont have to have turn signals in TX but you do..

http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/msb/txmclaws.htm#Chapter%202  <-- TX state laws..  547.324

on both cages and bike you have to have functional front and rear turn signals.

[FearedGS500]

note it said nothing about bikes  (c) Turn signal lamps:   a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer shall be equipped with electric turn signal lamps that indicate the operator's intent to turn by displaying flashing lights to the front and rear of a vehicle or combination of vehicles and on that side of the vehicle or combination toward which the turn is to be made.    on the first link   Turn Signals:  <-----says nothing .. its not  solarpulse is right there not a have to have on bikes here .. you take it to any shop here and they will pass it   ..given everything ealse passes

You should always look further into what you're displaying when you're trying to prove someone wrong.

The section you cite is directed at cars/trucks, and as a general guidline stating that if turn signals are evident, they must be functional.  Motorcycles have their own section, governed by different regulations.  Inspectionstations try and use what you've cited to refuse your tag, but:

This section is specifically for motorcycles.

the second link I posted is Motorcycle laws not cars.  Read the top of the page I posted..  whatever anyways.  No turn signals is an invitation to get ran over IMO..

You should read the WHOLE thing...not just the top of the page.  Just read it...all...like I and many others have, don't just post the link and "state" what you see at the top of the page.  There is not one thing in there that says motorcycles are required to have electric turn signals.  Did you even read the link I posted?

so uh.... anybody got those picture of the back of their bike?.....

[oramac]

here are mine...not flushmounts, but mounted to the fairing.  I like them a lot better this way

[budget speed demon]

that picture is huge, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use those r6 pegs with leds in them. just cut off your existing pegs and bolt on the new ones, the just wire them up as signals. the ebay auction says you can get them in any colour you want.

[FearedGS500]

or you can do what that guy did .. take you a cutting wheel and cut a chunk of it out of the back drill some holes for the leds . hook them bad boys up and seal it up .. if you look at it .. thats all he did .. i was looking at the gs pegs . the seam to be hollow . so all you would have to do is . cut the back side out of it . put them in there but the  right resitors on it . wire it and bame its done

[that_guy]

all I did was drill a 1/2" hole and remove the 2 sided tape, route the wires, and plug them in.  Took me about 10 minutes at most.

yeh I was thinking about that too but the R6 pegs have got alot more style to them. Nice flowing curvy lines and they look to be aluminum too.

these are about the right size if you go wit the 6 bulb ones.  Flexible, waterproof, and heat resistant.  These would be extremely easy to make work with the stock passenger pegs if you guys want a very easy option.  Im buying 2, 6 bulb strips to install underneat the tail.  One on all the time and one comes on flashing with the brake light.  Will post info when done.
