potatobroxd Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I've been reparing my front forks a lot lately and to access the pinch bolts I need to remove the front headlights and brackets (stupid design i know). Ive accidentally dropped a bolt somewhere in my bike and now i cant re-attach the front headlight bracket and delivery takes 2 weeks. So.. can i actually ride in the DAY TIME without front headlights and blinkers if they are totally removed from the bike? (I ride to buy groceries as i dont have a car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yes you can The ruling is if they are fitted they must work And as you have modified it you will need to inform your insurance that you have removed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) If your headlight is removed, all other lights must be removed. That includes taillight and 4x turn signals. If a taillight bulb breaks during daylight hours, you must cover all other lights with tape, and use arms as turn signals.
