These days, most modern motorcycles come with turning signals as standard. However, that was not always the case. In fact, motorcycle blinkers have only been compulsory since 1973, and there are some parts of the world where there are still considered to be optional, which is a little astounding considering the safety statistics.No matter how old your Triumph Bobber is, we highly recommend equipping it from and back with turning signals. These small but mighty accessories are used to increase your visibility on the road and make other road users aware of exactly what your next move will be.Just as with cars, they are especially useful at intersections or on stretches of road where several lanes merge into one. It is in these instances when having both front and rear signals is crucial, as it ensures that drivers in all directions are able to see where you’re headed.We know that most Triumph Bobber riders want to keep the weight of their bikes to a minimum, but we’re no advocates for compromising on safety.
