You can be issued a citation even if you're not riding at night if a police officer sees you don't have the license plate light. It won't be considered "street legal" which you might not care about, but if you ever try to sell it, could be an issue.i did have on more question. when i turned the bike on i noticed the signal indicator stayed lit green. Does it do this since one turn signal was not connected? I was asking becuase im not planning on using a plate light since i never ride it at night. Since i wont be using one will any lights come on the instrument cluster?
